Extending the tie rods

track increase (need late 03 parts which are wider and the brakes add another 10mm per side?) Only early spindles have the speedo cable hole in them.

I think a tech article is needed!

Amen to that! I bolted up my 944 N/A brakes last weekend and discovered these problems too. The general word is that N/A brakes will just "bolt-up" when you use the Kerscher ball joints, but there's a lot more to it than that.

Could the track control arm be made adjustable by welding in an adjustable rod in the middle? This would allow you to fine tune the camber pretty easily. If this was done, would there be difficulties with the top of the strut binding or is there some "flex" up there that would allow the track control arm to be lengthened?
