For a long time I had the idea to adjust the toe-in for the front wheels. But unfortunately, in the factory settings, camber is not adjustable.
Of course, nothing is impossible. In the internet and elsewhere, I've seen how others do it.
The simplest way is just to lengthen the lower control arm.
But I chose a different path. About a year ago, I saw an interesting photo in the vastness of the internet:

In the picture were some spacers or adapters. This idea really appealed to me, but I couldn't find any drawings. And after a year, I was once again inspired by this idea.
For this, I bought one jack for measuring dimensions. But then another question arose: "By how many centimeters should I shift the shock mount?"
Whomsoever I asked, everyone lengthened the lower control arm by about 30-35mm. Without immediately milling transition plates from metal, I decided to try and make something similar from plywood.
Initially shifted the mount by 30mm., put the wheel, lowered the car from the jack, noticed almost nothing. Camber appeared but it was very slight. Once again took out my jigsaw and cut a new 'plate', now shifting by 50mm. This time there was noticeable difference even without naked eye!

As it was before, stock condition, no camber:

Transition plate with 50mm shift.

Here's what I got :

This camber satisfied me completely. Decided to order plates with a 50mm shift.
But again new challenge: 'Where can I order them?' - drove around half the city and nobody agreed to help :(
However, I did find a company that does plasma cutting of metals. There they understood what I needed and agreed to cut it according to my template.

Almost finished product :

Collected the pieces, only had to drill holes and thread them. Fortunately there were no problems with machinists though their prices were steep. From five mechanics chose the cheapest one.

I don't have a drawing so explained everything by hand gestures - seems like it worked fine:

Bought missing bolts and went to install them.
Without spacers :

Installed spacers :

Here's how the camber looks now :

Purposefully drove to wheel alignment shop, measured negative camber. Expected slightly more but still not bad.
Left: -4
Right: -3

Why such a difference in camber, I don't know. Tried switching plates around, no change - definitely not due to them.

Among the advantages over lengthening the lower control arm :
-toe-in wasn't lost
-no need to replace steering knuckles
-can quickly fix the camber if needed

Regarding handling, difference is noticeable - car feels more composed in turns.
On highway noticed no changes at all. Worried it would throw me around on ruts but everything was fine. Literally yesterday went to Voronezh at 160km/h — 'all systems go'.
Honestly, if I knew there wouldn't be any throwing me around, I would've just lengthened the lower control arm and not bothered my head with this…
