Any tips on shifting the subframe to correct uneven camber/caster?

Spoon Sports makes a product that aligns the subframe to the unibody and holds it there; it's called the rigid collar kit. It solves the subframe - bolt mismatch by centering the bolt and increasing the surface area on which lateral forces are transferred. Lots of different JDM guys run them and across the different marques and their forums, they seem to get really good reviews. Cheap as far as suspension products go.

Here's a poorly worded speedhunters article on the subject:

"The picture in question shows a perfectly circular scar from a knurl bottom flange nut taking the paint off of a painted subframe mounting surface. If this were proof of the subframe moving, it would show horizontal scratches and non-circular scarring, in the directions that the subframe moved.
If the nuts and bolts are torqued per factory specification, then the clamping force between the face of the fastener and the chassis prevents any movement."
From changing the LCA bushings in my F to the USRS I can confirm, the factory torque is A LOT. (Broke 2 tools getting them out and barely got to the click when tightening to 150ft/lbs with a 20in long torque wrench.
