Yeah these are for my track car, I would probably use something like this if I did want more camber in the future

^^ that'll do it... welding new strut towers is getting a bit serious IMO. I'd love to it just for sh1ts and giggles though.

I wonder how far you can go until it starts wandering a high speed and failing to stop?

If you run E30 M3 CABS you'll be looking at around 9 degrees.
Just found my alignment sheet, i've got 8.5 degrees caster

Or you could go the whole hogg and build your own frame with your top mount's located wherever required.

Not really, its only a bit of migging :D The only downside I can think of is you wont be able to use a conventional strut brace, so some brackets would also need welding on.
There is a lot of talk about castor but ive seen competition M3 shells with top mounts that send the strut forwards :?:
