Is there an advantage to usig the top hats of my tein coilovers to maximize SAI while using the eccentric bolts to adjust camber at the bottom of the strut? giving me maximum SAI and say 2 degreees of camber, Tein flex coilovers w/pillow ball mounts, type r rear sway bar, c-pillar brace, front upper strut brace, poly urethane bushings round out mods 225/45-17 michelin super sport tires.

so you're saying to rotate the top mounts so the sliding adjustment changes caster rather than camber?

No, leave the mounts in proper orientation. Slide them all the way negative, this moves the angle of the strut off vertical changing camber. If you install eccentric bolts in the strut to steering knuckle camber can then be changed more positive I am thinking about 2 degrees would be good, however by leaving the plates at the top full negative this will now change Steering Axis Inclination.
