It's difficult to conceptually visualize, but a few hardcore racing companies have developed new spindles in contrast to addig spacers under the lca to combat the negative affects of lowering a production based vehicle while preserving the initial suspension dynamics from the factory. In other words there more to adding spacers between the knuckle and lca.
Not really sure what you're getting at, but all you would change(besides the roll center) would be the camber and possibly toe curves(I'm imagining this might stay the same). If anything, you'll probably increase your camber gain in the rear, even though that's not really a problem when lowered.

As for the GP Sports knuckles - if you're fine with two bolts in bending, why not just drill out the stock spindle and use a 3/4" bolt in bending in place of the balljoint?
