Default Need more info/dimensions on ATS Camaro spindles

Looking for some dimensions and bearing load info on the 1st gen camaro ATS spindles. I like the idea of them and they look like a great product, but for me to jump and buy them I need to know that they fit my goals rather than just "improves negative camber gain". The car they're going on is a fairly hardcore street/race car, not too many comforts, and will be total build from scratch suspension wise. I plan on analyzing my geometry using LOTUS Shark, so it would be greatly appreciated if someone could get me these distances and caster, or at least equivalent KPI and caster.

That's awesome I appreciate it. By caster I meant if there was any built in offset from the sideview between upper and lower balljoints, but looking at pictures of them I don't think there is.

I should have been more specific, but those numbers you gave me were the center of the balljoint, or the center of the hole where the balljoint bolts in?
