Coilovers and camber questions

hi there, I have an e85 3000i euro spec. I am about to replace the shocks for some coilovers, mine are done and want something sportier. At the same time i'd like to gain some more negative camber in the front. Few questions for you guys

-i dont want to install camber plates, for the squiky noise mainly. Are there any camber bolts kit/upper rubber strut kit?
-for the coilovers I am on a butdget so i am considering vogtland and ap, do you guys know which have the less harsh ride?

Not on the none-M.

All you can do on a non-M is remove the factory alignment pins from the strut cap and then use the max movement you can get from the slotted strut mount holes. You can expect roughly 0.8 to 1.0 degrees of added neg camber from doing this.

Rogue used to make fixed camber plates. Alternatively you can look into the Ground Control street kit which doesn't make any noise.
