The 1 degree or so at the top of the strut is nothing for the CV axle. That same amount of movement in the control arm is quite a bit.
Not saying you're wrong, it would just be odd if they didn't have some type of drivetrain engineer involved in the design (litigation issues alone). What you bring up is one of the reasons I asked just how much adjustment there is.
How far in does the ball joint need to be moved? If they really wanted to be custom, they could ask the customer how much lowering they need and cut the ball joint mounting holes to compensate. No concerns over something coming loose that way.
I�m curious to see what they come up with and hope it doesn't bind the axles as you've pointed out.
