Strut mount/camber plate recommendations

In the middle of a suspension upgrade. Noticed the factory strut mounts bushings are cracked. Want to upgrade to billet instead of using the facory ones again. Any recommendations???

auto-xr is infamous around these parts
-JIC camber plates (can adj. camber but not the caster. I think you can get them w/o the coilovers)
-TRG (adds to ride height from what I've read and no camber adj.)
-Schnell (copy of the TRG ones from what I can tell)
-One of the Rennlist guys has plates from Manthey Racing (can increase caster)

I don't recommend the Schnell plates. The quality is absolute ****.

what sort of front camber is suggested?
I am putting in the Agency coilovers this weekend and they come with built-in caber plates on the front. I'm not sure what to adjust for with camber, will be dropping the car about 1".

When I searched around for alignment settings, I found a lot of possibilities. On rennlist.org and found a post titled Help: Need 996 Alignment Settings For Track and the post goes through the various options you have. I chose 2.5 in front and 2.0 in the rear with no toe in front and slight toe in the rear since I mainly use the car for AX/DE events. So far I've been very happy with car's configuration performance.

PJ, I held off on getting more aggressive with my configuration b/c I want my skills to catch up first . I'm also holding off on changing damper and sway bar settings as well.
