Default Stock front strut mount somewhat adjustable?

Hi all. Anyone know if the front strut mounting has some play in it? I know that camber and caster cannot be adjusted in stock form, but since I added knew koni struts, my caster numbers dont match ( L - 6.7, R - 7.3). I'm thinking the strut mounting can be moved around a bit to add to caster/camber.

Anyone know if this is true? I'm tempted to get camber/caster adjustable plates, but they're so much money. Anyone know of a cheap method to changing caster? Thanks.

Not adjustable at all, it is what it is. What little movement might be there isn't meaningful.

The only way to optimise the numbers is to go with castor/ camber plates. Then you are on the slippery slope of race car parts on a street car...

If we're going to consider aftermarket parts that allow cars to be aligned properly as race parts, then almost all hyundais have race parts on them.
