Default Any Negative effect of raised lower ball joint?

First, my car is a true daily driver (Gbody) that I want to lower the front about an inch.

I have good springs that are not going to be replaced.

I have a extra set of stock upper and lower A arms that I am going to "rebuild" and install.

My idea is to combine a raised lower balljoint along with a raising the mounting point for that ball joint to drop the car 1".

I looks like with some minor trimming/welding raising the mount should not be hard at all.

From my limited understanding of suspension dynamics, I think this may slightly help the stock camber curve. Yes?

Also planning on adding a tall upper balljoint at the same time.

I "think" these will compliment each other, correct?

The true goal is the 1 " drop without hurting handling, any improvement will be a bonus.
