Default Adjustable control arm question:

Hey guys,
This is my first post in CL, but this isn't my first rodeo when it comes to forums.
I drive a 92 JZZ30 Soarer, and rather than building a drift car like everyone else does, I have always loved the VIP style.

Right now I'm slammed on hks Hipermax 2 coilovers with the stock arms, which aren't low enough for my liking. (I'm sitting approximately 1.25 inches from the ground) nor do they give me the camber I need.
I've been asking around the SC crew, but i still haven't gotten the answers I need.
I have SSR GT03 wheels, 19x9.5 0 front, and 19x10.5 -12 rear and I figured I need about negative 8° or more camber to fit these wheels the way I want.
So my question I pose to all of you, the SC guru's, which company makes the control arms (front and rear upper and lower) with the MOST camber adjustability? Money isn't an issue, I'm building my car right the first time, rather than risking my cars life in the hands of a ****ty company.
Hate on me if you will for the want of a slammed, "stanced" VIP styled manual soarer, but it's my car I do what I want.
Any info is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!

Ikeya formula since you said that money is not an issue, there stuff is commonly used on D1 drift cars in Japan. IMO it's the best. As there are not too many companies that make adjustable controls arms for our cars the selection is a bit slim. I know that Power house racing makes a rear upper control arm that they claim can go all the way to -10 degrees of camber so you might want to check that out too (around 1g USD). There are also other companies out there such as battle version, megan racing that also make other misc susp pieces.

Edit: Also possibly look into Japspeed (UK company) and there's another company from AUS that makes supra control arms (can't recall the name atm).

Thank you!!

I had my eye on ikeya formula for a while, as it's actually a couple hundred dollars cheaper than battle version.
I will definately be looking into powerhouse arms!

Unless you custom fab not really, there's not much real selection unless maybe over extending the stock ruca by using the Megan racing rlca (based on the sound of how much camber you want).There's always hard to find pieces floating but the chances of somebody selling some older jic or eau rogue susp pieces for cheap are sliiiiim
