Anyway, assuming the numbers are right, it looks like -3.3 of front camber is completely doable via this mod. I'm sure there's more room left in it, but I'll probably never try to go any further than that. If I ever have the need, I'll be looking into camber plates and/or completely different struts.
I drove the car at PittRace yesterday after the alignment and it drove awesome. I was running R7s for the first time and ran a 1:55.26 which is respectable for that track. On street tires, my best time was a mid 1:59.

My caster measurements were very similar to yours. about .7 degrees off from each other. (however i have not done the mod).
I have a question on when you are talking about removing material from the knuckle, what exactly are you talking about, i get the slots and the grinding, but am confused as to where the knuckle is you (and others) are referring to? I am attempting to achieve about a -2.9 - 3 with NT01, so should 1mm of material in the slots be good?
Do you recall exactly how much material you removed from the struts? Thanks in advance.
