KWs are slotted. My RCE T2s are slotted (revalved KWs). Works just fine, although takes a little more finesse when performing alignment. Probably should use non-cammed factory crash bolts in the slots.

I slotted my factory strut to get the camber I wanted. It takes very little material removal to produce measurable camber change. I was only able to get around 2 degrees neg up front with camber bolts, so rather than double up or go with smaller diameter bolts, I just did a little measuring and math and only had to remove like 1/8" of material to get the camber I wanted (~2.9 degrees). Once you tighten the bolt, it's not like the strut is going to move around on the hub - the stress from hitting a pothole will just push the bolt against the end of the slot the same way it does against the factory hole. I've slotted the struts on just about every non-adjustable MacStrut front end car I've ever had. ZERO problems. Just be sure to get it re-aligned after reassembly again to fine tune with the existing adjustable bolt you already have. It isn't rocket science or even difficult to do...just get the math right. You might be surprised how small a change at the strut bolt translates at the wheel. Of course, I'm a little old school, and disappointed by how 'enthusiasts' these days are afraid to tackle anything that isn't 100% bolt-on...

I strongly suggest waiting and getting camber plates...they do come up for sale in the classifieds here fairly often. I got mine from here, put new bearings in and race the hell out of them! I am running Verus camber plates and an SPC camber bolt for -4 up front.

FYI negative camber with plates will lower your roll center, haven't figured out how big the impact is on our cars (i.e. -3 via plates vs -3 at the knuckle) but something to keep in mind, especially if your car is already lowered and close to the threshold where bump steer can become noticeable.
