camber kits and control arms

I just put Specialty Products ball joints on my car to save tires but it seems to have changed the distance for the control arm travel and the car is bottoming out in the wheel wells on very small bumps. Does anyone make control arms that compensate for the difference or does anyone have any suggestions of other ways around this?

I had this problem also. Only ways I've figured out how to solve this problem is to have the inner fender modified to clear the control arm. The other solution is to just correct the camber enough to clear the inner fender which I did. I bought the progress camber kit which only has 2 settings. Unlike the one you have I beleive you have that has the sliding ball joint.

I don't think they make a control arm that will copensate for this because if you think about it the only way to clear the inner fender is to have a shorter control arm but doing that just reverses the effects of the camber kit which pushed it out.
