Spring Plate Ruminations

So, Here i am contemplating the nature of the 944 rear springplate conversion....

Looking for first-hand experience with the springplate.
My little brainbrain doesn't seem to understand the spring plate mounting and how it goves camber adjustment.
There's the two(?) bolts just behind the cover for the bar bushings,
Is that where the camber adjustment takes place?
(this being that piece that beetle springplates don't have)

Does it really give enough adjustment to help with 'squat' on a lowered car?

Doesn't it interfere with being able to put wide tires on?
It seems like the bolts would be right in the wrong spot for big wheels/tires with a lot of negative offset...

And,

Does the 924 have the same parts there? i.e. bus-size CVs, adjustable plates, etc..?


I'm about to go and do a whole dissection of the rear of a 924, and, well, it somehow doesn't really seem worth it right now.
Those 16 x 8 cup wheels are going to be hard enough to make fit as it is...
