camber plate question 1302/3

Was pondering something..

Like most, I am doing the 944 front brake upgrade, with 944 spindles, Topline Maxx struts, and Topline camber bolts..

From reading here and on superbeetles, it seems that the camber settings are still off with the above setup..

Some have suggested using some bolts from H&R. While others have recommeded elongated the upper slot on the Topline Maxx struts and open the bolt hole on the spindle..
Lastly the use of a camber/caster plate..

Out of all three, I would think that the use of a plate would be best..
At the time, and present time included I did not go for Kersher Setup that seems to have the slots..

I haven't had time to disassemble the spindle and strut to see how much space there is to elongate.. any thoughts on safety?

As far as camber plates, it seems our options are thin, unless you go overseas..

Question then is, can you modify a Rabbit camber plate to fit.. such as redrill bolt up holes.. Topline uses the Rabbit inserts, but I have reservation about this due to compatability issues..

Below is some thing I saw online.. first thing that pops into my head is the upper spring perch.. Any thoughts.. are any of the vendors will to tackle this issue.. GROUP BUY.. modify holes and mill a upper sping perch to mate..

THOUGHTS..

I need two sets.. for two bugs
