getting the most camber from a STD type 1

[levi20AE]

Other than the more eccentric camber caster adjusters available how can camber be maximized on a standard ball joint front-end? What are you guys running as far as caster and camber settings?

Currently running:
CB dropped spindles
Weld-in torsion spring adjusters
Caster shims
Eccentric camber/caster adjusters

Hi

Guys down here get the top arms bent for more camber. Be careful with too much camber, under brakes you'll only be using part of your tyre.

that's a pretty good idea. how do they measure howmuch they bent the arm? do they heat them up?

Hi

They don't heat them, its a controlled bend in a press.

It was a long, long time ago... But I think I bent my upper arms 10mm inwards

what did you use to bend the arms? long pipe over the trailing arm ends? do you know how much camber 10mm gave you? this sounds like an opportunity to break out the tape measure and the trigonometry.
