Default Anyone running shorten knuckles on the 2gs

Hey,
I'm just looking for some feedback on any running or personally knows anyone running, Shorten front knuckles,
I'm looking at getting mine done and just weighing some pro's and con's
The specs that I am looking at getting done are 40mm shorter and -5 negative camber.

Now I'm currently running on insurance group coil-overs (14k) and serial nine front upper adjustable arms and sage rca's 30mm

Now here's the pro's in my mind
run super low tons of camber to clear my wheels and ruin tires even more ( im going for a static super low vip look)
I won't hit the upper arms on the shock towers ( even though the S9 arms give a tonne of clearance)
I won't have to lower my coil-overs to the limit.

Now here's my cons.
I might have to run spacers on the front to clear the short arms due the extra camber.
Probably should switch out lbj's since the work is half done ( would stock lbj's do the trick?)
extra wear on tires and maybe steering linkage? ( not to sure)

But if anyone can chime in I would appreciate it a lot
thanks !!

I just ordered a set of shortened steering knuckle from Japan since my UCA are hitting the shock towers. I'm concerned about the geometry after this. So far I have a set of hardrace adjustable UCA. Maybe that will bring the camber back some.

How is your build going so far?
