 Longer lower arms

I'm after longer lower arms. The car in this case is TT-132. Length of my current lower arms is 31.5cm from middle of pivot point to middle of ball joint and overall length is 37cm. According Haynes manual, stock camber is +1º. I want it to be around 1.5º on negative side. After four hours of calculation (yes, I'm that lousy in maths  ), I get my result. My longer arms should be 18mm longer, better double check that though  . Anyways, what Toyota or some other car (Mitsubishi, Datsun?) might have longer lower arms. Only Toyotas that comes to my mind is Cressida and maybe Celica Supra, but those Supras are here like whales in lakes, virtually non-existing. So, can some-one measure Cressida arms? Lengthening of my current ones is illegal like modifying any suspension parts around here. Another interesting still planning stage option is to find early eighties Hiace, one with straight lower arm and wish-bone type upper arm, but those arms might be way too rough desing  . I know for sure that Hiace pivot point bush is different than most of the RWD Toyotas and most likely ball joint attachment is too. I think that eventually I end up building longer arms in lack of better options.
