Your stock upper mounts are adjustable, so what exactly are you after?

Not everyone's got 450 laying around my friend, but you can buy them for me if you'd like.
Failing that, perhaps someone's got some camber plates they could let go of for something less than $450 and or is willing to trade for my Dels?

What he's saying is those are your only option for what you're looking to do.

All the other ones out there are just aluminum copies of the stock ones.

You may want to look at elephant racing's offset ball joints if you need a cheaper alternative.

I do have to ask, how much camber are you looking for and why?

Yes, I'm aware those are the options. I posted here in the hopes of getting some used ones and thus saving some money.

I looked at the Elephant offset joints. $390 is better than $450 true but I'm hoping to find some used plates for less.

Another cheap option would to be have the lower arms extended?

Could you talk some more about this? Do you know of anyone who's done this? How would it be done?
I assume you're not meaning raised spindles.

It's very common in the Japanese tuner side.

Essentially you cut the arm in the middle and weld on a extension section to gain additional negative camber.

You'll probably only need 10-15mm worth of extension to get what you're looking for.

That is a VERY interesting idea. Thank you for the link as well.
This could be a fix to what I'm trying to do and be budget friendly.
Kudos on ya

Do the math before you decide to proceed. This will reduce the effective torsion bar and sway bar stiffness; the amount depends on how much length you add. I suspect you are trying to keep it as stiff as possible for the track. Better grip from the increased camber and lower wheel spring rate may not end up accomplishing what you wanted to.
