Consensus is: I am basically mechanically maxed out with ford plates and i need more camber just chewed up a new set of front trofeos.

Vorshlag or dark horse R? That is the question.

Dark Horse R will be more work than i think you realise. It isn't a straight forward bolt on one afternoon. It is also designed for a specific shock absorber setup.
You need to cut the complete hump off the strut tower and possibly clearance the remaining hole. The bearing in the camber plate may be a different diameter to the shaft on your current shock absorber. These were designed for Multimatic shocks. You are currently running standard shocks with standard spring plates that may hit the inner tower sheet metal at extreme camber. The spring setup may be too short as well as the top mount of the shock absorber it now sitting above the top of the tower, not under it. Almost forgot, pretty sure they don't bolt into a factory location unlike my FP350S ones did. Would need to find the specific alignment pattern to be drilled. And after all that you loose your strut tower brace as well.

What my strut tower top looked like to fit the earlier version.
