The problem is this...

The standard springs diameter restrict how much camber/castor you can get by moving the top of the strut around.

If you just buy the adjustable tops, you'll find you can maybe get 1 degree more camber before the spring hits the inside of the strut tower.

This is why when most people get adjustable strut tops, they also go for smaller diameter springs, which one you've done that, you may as well pay the extra coupla hundred for adjustable height.

It's a slippery slope, that will inevitably end up costing over $1000.

$250 for new springs
$250 for adjustable tops
$200-300 for adjustable spring height
$200-$700+ for new shocks
+ labour.

Yeah some people might be able to get special deals on the parts, and do the labour themselves.
But it's still not going to be simple or cheap.

My prices are 5 years old, and from the top of my head. But a cost of over $1000 is a reasonable estimate.
