Scotty,
After expending much effort and too much money buying and installing new
brackets, springs, bushings, aluminum spacers, used control arms etc., in
 vain attempts to solve my negative camber problems,  I finally took
CF38690 to the best frame and alignment shop in town. They restored the
proper camber by elongating the holes in the brackets slightly and
adjusting them . Simple, yet effective. That was 3 years ago and the
camber is still in spec. Car handles great.
Good luck,
