so i recently installed a set of aftermarket (spohn) front lower control arms and i have a problem. I also installed moroso trick springs which lowered the front of my car quite a bit but i'm happy with the new height. I'm also running the cheapie speedway upper control arms. Here is the problem - I've removed all the shims on the uppers and i still can't get the camber anywhere near correct. The top of the wheel is tilted inboard big time. I'm thinking that lowering it caused this problem but i don't know how to fix it. I need to either move the top ball joint out or the bottom ball joint in. Does anyone make uppers that have the ball joint farther out? I don't want to try and modify anything on the bottom.
Any ideas?

Does Spohn make upper arms to go with their lower arms? If so I would see if they can get you a measurement and compare it with the Speedway arms, my guess is the Speedway arms are too short, but I couldn't say for sure.

aren't there speedways for circle tracks?

1 is shorter than the other for the left turns?

the speedway arms are for circle track and the left and right are different but i bought 2 of the same side so they would be exactly the same. They worked fine untill i put on these spohn lowers. Maybe they are shorter, don't know.
