Yes, you can change the mounting holes for that extra degree of negative camber.

Suggestion
If you want true �quick change� adjustability, check out the Elephant racing �quick change� camber plates - just be sure they�ll work with your struts before purchasing (I found out the hard way)...
Replace � camber plates - just be sure they�ll work

If you want to be able to go from track settings to street setting back and forth, look for something like the Elephant ones (keeping in mind, with each camber adjustment, you must reset toe).

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Getting ready to pull the trigger on some suspension refreshing parts and looking to see if anyone has experience with the following parts:
1.
Powerflex Track Control Arms
Pros: Preinstalled Powerflex bushings, adjustable camber and caster
Cons: Expensive ($1,025, but less than GT3 CAs), Less adjustable caster and camber than GT3 CAs
2.
Vertex Upgraded Control Arm with Replaceable Ball Joint
Pros: Preinstalled replaceable ball joints, Inexpensive
Cons: Stock rubber bushings, No caster and camber adjustment
3.
Tarett Engineering Pro-Series Control Arm Kit
Pros: Monoball bushings, adjustable camber and caster (more than GT3 CAs), Includes adjustable LCAs
Cons: Expensive ($1,800, but includes LCAs)
I'd likely be installing �hlins POZ Mi00 Road & Track, Tarett monoball shock mounts and drop links (though might go with JRZ coilovers). Will be seeing some track use and long drives up the California coast.
Would love to hear from others, and I'm leaning to doing something like
@MoeMonney
did with his '99.
Thanks!
I just put a set of these on my front suspension. It's lowered quite a bit so couldn't get it to less than 3 degrees of negative camber with the stock arms. These got it to just below negative 2 degrees...

Yeah, they're nice - definitely quality pieces. I tried Elephant Racing adjustable camber plates (quick change here:
https://flat6motorsports.com/product...SABEgLS4fD_BwE
) but they didn't work with my KW V3 struts... (long story, but suffice it to say they don't/won't work without having some custom angled bushings made).
I have stock lower control arms and adjustable upper dog bones. I can adjust from 0-3* in the back. My car is also very low on h&r spings. I also added adjustable toe bars when i found a bent link but they were not needed. U should not need gt3 arms in the back.
My opinion in what u have picked out is they would be great track parts but your ride quality on the street is really gonna suffer.
The setup I have is amazing. Im very happy with it. Although theres always something to improve. I don't have monoballs for example. For what I need the car is perfect. Such a pleasure to drive and the Ohlins are so smooth. Really transformed the car.
I realize it is only the control arm flanges in an otherwise OEM parts list, but I would avoid putting anything from Hamburg Technic on my suspension. Sounds like a German manufacturer but they made in China AFAIK. Some troubling reviews in the 993 and Bimmer forums:

Not in your list but work considering because you don't have to bother with shims and they also give your caster adjustment are the elephant racing control arms.
If you are thinking about the performance and spending decent $, get the GT3 LCAs and don't look back. You get the adjustable camber where you want it. Done!
Great choice on the Ohlins and Tarett top mounts, the top mounts make significant improvement in steering feel. Fantastic!
Just a thought...if you are basing your decision on camber adjustment, what if you went with oem non adjustable control arms, and went with something like the tarrett camber plates?
Get the OEM gt3 outer LCAs for 180 bucks each (TRW) and pair them with PCMA or Tarrett monoball bearings for the inners.
Wham. Bam. Thank ya ma'am. Cheaper than power flex, adds camber adjustment, and are motorsports parts.
2 sets of stud holes make them adjustable same style as in the cup and maybe standard GT3 setup. .

�adjustable� is somewhat subjective in this sense. Yes, you can change the mounting holes for that extra degree of negative camber. This is in no way quick or simple, which the word adjustable implies. If you want true �quick change� adjustability, check out the Elephant racing �quick change� camber plates - just be sure they�ll work with your struts before purchasing (I found out the hard way)... Good luck
I hear you and agree, just making sure it�s out there that you�re not stuck in A setting with them.
For me, I like the fact that it�s a �fixed� adjustment. One less thing to worry about loosening over time/abuse.
I may take a look at the Elephant versions though.
It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you plan to set them and only make small adjustments, the Tarett ones are great. If you want to be able to go from track settings to street setting back and forth, look for something like the Elephant ones (keeping in mind, with each camber adjustment, you must reset toe).
Very welcome. I bought the CMS shim shim pack but may have some left after my alignment tomorrow. PM me if you need some shims to take to the shop. 10mm = 1 degree of extra camber typically.
