Custom camber kit
i have a question then. if factory is fork style (both sides, for more balanced force and stability) and now replaced with a ball joint one end type. wouldn't that affect how the suspension react?
I didn't even notice the fork to ball joint change. In theory, the whole dynamics of the suspension has changed. The way I look at it, the entire rear knuckle has essentially been 'twisted' towards the rear of the vehicle. I'm not for that, personally and would never do that.

That is wrong. you cant just convert a fork style into a tab and run a bolt thru it!!
make a new arm! do it right, i build lowriders and have done lots of different things, this is what it should look like.
full adjustable, 1 side is left hand threads, 1 side is right hand threads. just like a tie rod, I could make these easily but I have no time, there is a guy in AZ that will build them for you, just send them the length from hole to hole. end to end. and specs you want.
here is an example of his work, [NOW REMEMBER this is for extreme cases of correction, so the adjustment is made huge,for our cars we hardly need this much adjustment, but its just an example to show you what i am trying to say. btw they can put any ends on you want. at the other end he can put a nice quality heim joint on it also.
if anybody wants his contact info just ask, i will post it.

now dont call him and ask for gs camber kit lol, he will have no fukn clue what your talking about.
what you need to do is this, send him a pic of the rear arms. he is going to need measurements before he can build a set of arms. and the tubing size that I posted is overkill,you wont need that thick of d.o.m. tubing.
call him and email him the info and get a quote. once he builds one set of arms, he can bang off more sets to sell to anybody easily.
just make sure to build them with the fully collapsed length = stock length or a bit shorter., cant go wrong that way unless somebody even wants MORE positive camber then what you have now when lowered.
hope that helps.

ok thanks for confirming guys, that's what i thought too. the whole dynamic is changed and it's as unsafe as you can imagine (considering the force and directions). factory put in a fork type for a reason
do it right...

^ only half of it is. One arm is the same as the OP used but the other has a fork end as you see someone posted pics above. So you can use this part for one of 2 camber arms that are needed for the GS. I am 99% sure I found a fix for this. I have a few things in process so I will let you know once I can confirm.
