Run the offset Moog bushings. 7* and -1.5, or 8ish and -2.0, or 8.5ish and -2.5 are all alignment numbers I've used, depending on the tires. FWIW, I wear the outer tread corner on street tires at less than -2.2 camber on the road course.
If you want more camber without the caster, get spacers for the lower ball joint to spindle point.
YMMV on the specs. I run the car pretty low, which increases both alignment specs.

anyone ever tried using the fixed arm version, and if so, how did you do the mounting?
Considering it. Initial thought is drill an appropriate sized hole through the inner fender for a swedged mounting stud to be mounted from the inside, ala chevy style, to be compatible with the control arm mounting. It will need a thin spacer to keep arm pivots off the mounting surface. Still playing with exact length I want and how much anti-dive I want to take out of the mount. I believe using the offset style will put me in the 5-7* caster position with no other spacers. Additional caster after that is easy. Use early chevy truck ball joints for bolt in compatibility and matching spindle taper. Also gives flexibility in alternate roll center ball joint styles. May require some trimming of the frame rail pinch weld for clearance depending on ride height and its resulting control arm angle and travel.
