Ok, so the piece that holds your control arms and to which this cross bar attaches is held to the body by two nuts and the front crossbrace.

its a fixed assembly and it bolts flush to the body and sits in locating dowel studs.

You A) want to place this piece, which can crack, under tension.
B) Think that you can push this piece further out enough to create an additional degree of negative camber?

The reality is that this bar's only purpose is to stiffen up the rear of the assembly by joining the aluminum carriers (more so than the aluminum plate) and prevent them from flexing under heavy load.

The rear setup of the 986 can get to about 2.4 degrees of camber even with stock control arms via the eccentric setup. Anyone needing more negative camber than that will likely be running adjustable control arms and/or camber plates.

I applaud anyone trying to make new products for this car, but your claims reflect a serious lack of understanding of how the rear of the car is assembled and the manner in which alignment changes should be made.
