Just like we say about racing, if it was easy, everyone would do it :-)
You can slot the strut towers, but there is nowhere for the upper mount to
move to.
You can slot the ears that the hub mounts to and install camber (crash) bolts,
but they have a reputation for slipping.
The best way for both performance and safety is to use the camber plates.
