There's nothing half assed about slotting the struts... lots of good coilovers come pre-slotted on the upper hole. Adding camber at the knuckle is slightly better than at the upper mount because of the SAI.

To the OP, if you're running 245's you might not have any clearance at the spring perch to get extra camber from slotting the struts. I have my struts slotted and whiteline camber bolts, and maxed out at about -2.2* before there wasn't enough clearance between tire and spring perch. That's with 17x8 +45's and 225/45 AD08R's.

If you've got room, definitely slot the upper holes!
