I'm going through the same scenario with the strut travel thing. I have MCS shocks which were originally made for CS and the strut bodies are longer than the versions made for STX. I converted them to normal coilovers with 60mm perches, springs, and Raceseng tophats last year. I'm taking the car to SM next year and want to lower the car more but I'm basically out of travel at this point. The MCS have a slotted ear on the strut so I can gain camber back that way and I'll be using adjustable front arms as well. So I'm not too worried about pushing the strut top inward to get camber.
If you had the GC camber plates with the 60mm perch basically in the middle is there room for the perch to sit fairly far within the hole? I can also modify the opening but I'd rather not.
I would have a billet plate machined to match the exact layout of the GC plates and tap the GC plates and use countersunk screws so the spacer and GC plates are attached to each other.
How much space do you reckon you could raise the GC plates before running into any other issues?
In the Honda world GC actually makes extension pieces specifically for this, similar to the rear Raceseng tops. I talked to Raceseng about making something like this for the BRZ and they have had a lot of interest but didn't think it would work without a complete redesign.
