The use and repetition of incorrect terminology also confused the f*#@ out of me. The inboard LCA is already a monoball. The thrust(aka tension/caster) arm and LCA are ball jointed to the knuckle.
You only need monoballs for #15 in the above diagram and decide what you want to do with your upper strut mount to eliminate rubber.

The SPL LCA is great if you've maxed out camber adjustment on the camber/strut top mounts and need more. I think you can get more caster too. This looks unavoidable and you may rub the front section of the wheel liner obviously depending on tyre/wheel specs and how much adjustment you have on the strut / camber plate.
Imo, it's more suited to race cars running aero looking to maximise efficiency by running lower to the ground. The camber curve is commonly messed up by slamming it to get more static camber or aero efficiency - it's counter intuitive past a certain point. Only someone who has modelled the kinematics would know what that point and exactly is. The SPL spacers on the LCA outboard joint are designed to alleviate this.
