If you're interested, there are RaceSeng CasCam plates at a great deal in the classified section. You would need to buy the OEM spring perch, but that's still a few hundred less than new.

RaceSeng top mounts have adjustable caster and camber. RCE top mounts have adjustable camber and a fixed amount of increased caster. I think Velox increases caster...

They would be selected based on how much camber you want. Can you get your desired camber with bolts? Then you don't need top mounts. Beyond that, RCE makes their own, Velox makes great ones,...

I would move the OEM bottom bolt to the top hole, put a camber bolt in the bottom hole, and get as much negative camber as you can in the front. It'll probably be somewhere around -1.5 to -2.0. Set...

For #1, something isn't tightened all the way. Check it all again and you'll probably find the culprit.
