Default Aftermarket Camber Plates (front) with OEM Shock

I'm looking to get more negative camber for my 997TT. Currently on stock shocks with GMG springs, I'm running F: -1.1 and R:-1.6. I'm looking to get F:-1.5 and R:-2. Can anyone confirm if this is achievable with stock shocks and camber plates?

If one were to go aftermarket camber plates, from my research, the C4/996TT/997TT or cars with AWD have a slightly different front camber plate. As you know the stock shock has a mechanism built into it for the spring perch to be slight angled and align with the chasis. The aftermarket, has created camber plates, whereby the bearing unit is set at an angle, to allow for running of standard coilover and springs without this added OEM angled rings.

My question, if I want to run an aftermarket camber plate with stock shock, what needs to be changed to work?

Hey TT Surgeon. Do the GT3 control arms have more camber built in? Or do you need shims in addition to?

I've always used shims, but I think they have a little built in as well.
