LCA offset bushings

LCA offset bushings
So the consensus seems to be that Derlin offset bushings in the LCAs don't work well because of binding issues trying to get all the alignments specs in place. The issue is the hardness of the Derlin and it's unwillingness to flex enough.
So why has no one tried offset Poly bushings? Or have they and I just can't find it searching. What are the issues or concerns here? I can make bushings for $50 opposed to $650 for v8 roadster LCAs.

i got the V8 roadser arms. seam to be expensive but better alternative. as with poly once it's molded you have no adjustment.

Am I wrong with this? I'd love to see a picture of an arm this has been done to.
I can put a piece of poly bar on the lathe and turn it down in less time I'm sure.
I guess the question I'm searching for, is why is no one doing it?

I'll see if I can get by my garage and snap some pictures, I have one spare LCA on the bench.
It's a bit crude job and it will not make things lighter, but we have not seen a failure for years of w2w racing (I think this exact mod it's on 4-5 cars here).
But add 275 slicks and the loads go up.

I can give you the source easy. Coming up with ~$1500 is your problem.

I think that extending the lower control arms like that is probably one of the cheapest ways I have seen, and it looks fine to me.
With that said, have you had any negative impacts by doing this, like bump steer issues, tie rod issues...ect? What benefits have you received from it, only camber adjustment?
