I don't have Coil overs and adjustable top mounts so I cannot adjust the camber on the front. I am told to aim for around 3% camber by the specialists for best track performance.

Would it be possible to get the same effect by having an adjustable lower wishbone. Has this been done before ? I already have Koni suspension and was going to fit new lower wishbones with upgraded bushes anyway I might as go the whole way and modify the arms so they are adjustable. Any thoughts ?

You're probably better off just getting the hub carriers machined by bridgecraft engineering. You'd have to push the hub carrier out quite a bit to get enough camber just doing it the wishbone way which would then potentially affect the cv joint in the driveshafts. Speak to allanallen on here as he works at bridgecraft and he'll be able to sort you out.

If you haven't got small diameter coil springs I doubt you will have anywhere near the appropriate spring rate to make the most of a tyre that needs as much as 3 degrees of camber.

You can gain camber with longer wishbones but you need to be very careful you don't pull the inner cv joints apart on full droop, it doesn't take much at all to do that.
