Making camber plates useful?

[Dusterbd13]

So, the whoosh coilovers that came on my car have camber plates. That can't be adjusted without a bunch of screwing around.

Looks like i could open the tops of the strut towers somehow to make life easier.

Can I? Should I? If so, how? Got examples or a how to? Reasons I shouldn't?

Never ran into this problem before. So, im trying to look before I leap for a change.

This is the same issue we face on the Focus ST/RS side. FOR US, the common option is to take a hole-saw to the strut towers to open up the center enough to allow the camber plate to slide and lock down. In my brief investigation for the Fiesta, the same issue and solution is used.

The alternative would be to set the camber, bolt in the struts, and then check alignment. Remove, adjust, repeat until desired settings reached. Just, be prepared for a lot of remove and replace...

I couldn't seem to find anything. I know it's been done but I just couldn't find it. What Search terms did you use since I was apparently using the incorrect ones? That way I can figure out what other guys have done and replicate it. Hopefully they're sizing of hole saws posted somewhere so I know what to pick up if I don't already have it in the drawer
