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???

most of the best camber plates made for 996's are from the same mfgr.

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.

Auto-xr,

I am using similar alignment settings as you but probably slanted more towards track then auto-x
F -2.7, 0 Toe, 8.3 Caster
R -2.5, 4mm Toe in

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.
