I will answer your questions in reverse order.

The pic is of an aftermarket spring perch for coilovers set into a stock upper mount.
The GC camber/caster is also a coilover spring perch for comparison.
There are no stock upper perches in that pic. GC is making street Camber/Caster plates also (not just a different perch) that will fit stock springs.
The GC coilover camber/caster plates fits the stock strut with a coilover conversion kit, but not stock diameter springs.
The thinking this is: Street springs need street camber/caster plates. Coilover springs need coilover camber/caster plates.

Top mount camber/caster plates can lower the ride height. But the
main reason is have suspension travel after you lower the car, or at least not lose as much.

It relates directly to where the GC spring perch is compared to what you have now.
If the GC perch is higher up in the car than another perch, you will have more suspension travel with GC at the same ride height.
The amount would be the distance between the two. (assuming similar shaped perches which these all are)

Not done yet. Everything has already been sold as a kit. The street plates will be a month or so maybe.
