XcessiveManufacturing Front LCA?

So I've been trying to find the perfect pair of front LCA's since I'm looking for wider track and more camber in the front. I was set on the PBM front LCA (https://store.partsshopmax.com/shop/.../ZNC6FLCA.html) but I just found out today that it requires subframe cutting/welding, rackspacing, and knuckles for it to even fit on the car. While I'm not opposed to doing that in the future, I try to do all the labor myself and I really don't feel like fucking with notching and welding the front subframe at the moment, especially since I did all of that to the rear a few months ago when I raised the subframe and diff.

So that leaves me with RacerX, robispec (which I can't even find anywhere?), or this other brand I came across:

Xcessive Manufacturing

http://xcessivemanufacturing.com/ind...ft86-flca.html

Anyone heard of this or better yet, tried it on their car?

While the cost leaves me suspicious, I've seen cheap parts do amazing jobs before (like the PBM rear lca's). It says it allows for up to 2" of track width adjustment, which I find interesting since I believe I read that the racerx only allow 12mm per side? I can't seem to find it now though so please correct me if wrong.

I'm basically trying to get the widest I can so I can run smaller or no spacers while running a wider fender (todoroki, +30mm), while also having better inner clearance since when I was super low with -7 front camber (slotted struts, camber bolts, camber plates) the coilover collars would bang against the inner body at full turn. I'm also getting smaller coilovers (65mm stance -> 62mm bc) in the next week so that should help that issue as well. I was trying to avoid slotting the struts again, but I think it might be better to get the most camber out of the strut area that I can, instead of getting it all from the top plates & LCA... thoughts?

Called them today and I guess these are the guys that did the front LCAs on ryan tuercks first FRS formulaD car. that doesnt really tell me much, but i talked to them for a bit and they at least seem like they know their shit. mainly drift inspired/purposed parts and do a lot of toyotas. since theyre basically half the price of the SPL ones i'll probably just bite the bullet and try em out along with their tie rod extensions that i'll need. i'll post a review or something if so.
