UMI a arms giving too much camber

[Dunebilly]

Hi I am installing a arms with tall ball joints with coilovers on a regal chassis. I am trying to lower the front but the camber is way too positive I have stock spindles and the lower ball joints that came on the lower arms are short. what would bee the best way to make things correct and still have my lower height? I am going to get the blazer spindles so I can use my ls brake setup. what options would be best... I don't want to get new uppers even though its tempting to get the adjustable type here's some pics

First things first. You cant tell what the camber or caster will be until you get the complete weight on the car. Second is the fact that I don't see any alignment shims in the front. The other thing is that you need to measure the arms from the middle of the shaft to the center of the ball joint. If it's over 8.4" then it's to long. If it's close to 8" then somethings up with the suspension or frame.

And any extra length on the ball joints will help, but if you have taller uppers it will help to have taller lowers.

I have 4 shims in the front and 2 in the back and its still wack
I'm thinking tall lowers are what I should do

Measure the upper arms first. If they sent you the wrong ones or they're longer than they should be, that will cause this type of issue.
