Yes, convert your rear end to a first gen axle or 2 link it. There ain't no other way.

If I'm not mistaken the problem is with how the caliper mounts so that when you add camber your brakes bind.

If you figure it out let us know.

With some cars that I work on, Washers can be used to get the
thickness right before heading to the machine shop. Depending on a cars suspension design, there are alignment shims in various thicknesses
from NAPA that also help with thickness measuring.

Goodtimes, that is one of the nicest "stock" cars I have seen...LOL
Looks like you got it right.
Have any pictures as to how you did it? Thanks.-Bob
