Camber is adjusted at the balljoint/control arm junction.  I would 
assume that you are simply going to take the car in for an alignment 
after installation?

Now, if it alters the caster, that's tough, because the type 85 (and 89) 
has no caster adjustment.  Don't know if anyone sells caster plate kits 
for them that will fit the stock strut mounts.

I think what you are seeing is because the front wheel wells are bigger 
(for steering, and I suppose brake dive).

However, it sure sounds interesting - get a bit more rake to the cars looks.

Also if you put on big tires and have big people in the back seat, you 
won't get the fender rub.
