you say fully camber/castor adjustable, but they're not 100% fully adjustable.
good tutorial though

to get rid of any camber that you have on the suspension caused by lowering 
I dont know what it would do for the handling but I assume that thecar handles better with 0 degrees camber, also it will even out the tyre wear

incorrect, all cars have a certain amount of camber set by the factory be it negative or positive. a car will grip more on a drag strip with 0 degrees camber but will be useless round a track. More negative camber on a fwd car is more usefull round a track, mainly because when cornering the car leans and the suspension will compress, it is in this moment 0 degrees camber on the inner wheel is desirable giving maximum grip

One thing I'd like to know is why cut it and make such a mess of the turret?
It appears to still have plenty enough space to be adjusted without the need for hacking away at it.

some topmounts can be fitted without cutting the turret but they dont offer much adjustment. these ones give +/- up to 3 degrees camber and castor.
