so why not get one of our VIP kits and do it correctly. Our VIP setup offers enough clearance to fit some very aggressive fitments.

I understand the goal, I am just curious why spend that kind of money when there are other solutions that are less expensive where you will get better support. We specialize in custom products and build one-off setups frequently. An upper is pretty tricky to install on-vehicle anyway, so we would do a static offset upper and add more dynamic adjustment on the lower. It would likely be slightly more than the Silk Road solution upper alone and offer a much wider range of adjustment. The bushing solution plus the lower affords a substantial amount of clearance for low offset rims and does not risk the axle strain from doing the upper alone. The key I have found with VIP cars is flexibility. Flexibility to run different wheels in the future and to fine tune the existing setup for a range of ride heights.And FWIW, I cannot stand the term RCA for what companies are doing for the rear. These are simply drop arms, they do not change roll center since its a single connection to the outer spindle. A front RCA is actually adding length to one leg of the triangle on a double wishbone. A drop arm is just changing the connection point of the shock to change where it centers its stroke.
