I'm doing 50/50 autocross/track on a daily driver. I want to improve front camber so my tire shoulders don't get eaten up and to get less understeer.

I'm on stock suspension, and this is a daily driver through the winter for skiing. I'm never going to be interested in lowering this car, I shovel a lot in the winter already. (It's a good trade off, I get to drive a sports car on twisty mountain roads all winter! On squishy 16" winter tires)

I'm thinking -2 or -2.5 degrees and 0 toe on the front. It looks like I can get there either by eccentric upper/lower bolts, or by the Pedders top hats and less bolts. Which is the better way to go? Do 245s clear the strut with eccentric bolts?

I see plenty of cheap eccentric bolts on Amazon, and then the Whiteline bolts at 3x the price. Any opinions there?
