More negative camber - will F8x M3/M4 lower control arms - tension struts work ?

Hi,

In pursuit of more camber but using OEM parts has anyone got anymore info on use of F8x M3/M4 LCA and TS on F2x series front suspension to push bottom of hub carrier further outwards ?

Attached photo of underside of new M3 - looks v similar.....

Comments/advice most welcome.....

Wouldn't it be easier to move the top of the strut inwards? And maybe a bit backwards for more caster and steering feel.
