Default Camber Help!

I race an 85 Honda prelude on an oval track, and I need way more negative

camber on the right side

but i don't know how to get it. I have slotted the upper control arm to have

it slide more but the steering knuckle holding both ball joints that goes in

fromt of the coil and shock, well i can't move it anymore as it will hit the coil

when i turn the wheel. My only option is to bend that knuckle so it pulls the

top of the caliper in, but that is hard to do.

Is there any such thing as a lower adjustable ball joint????

Or is there any other way of getting more negative camber on the right

side???? Let me know anything is useful!

Getting a camber kit is the only real way i know of, i would never ever bend the knuckle.

You could drill the subframe and move the lower control arm mounting point outwards.

Especially since shifting the subframe to the side will increase negative camber on one side of the car, but decrease it (add positive camber) on the other, which is probably something a circle track car could make use of.
