Correct, the strut mounts are identical, hence the alignment pin is on the left on both sides of the car.

To answer an earlier question, I run square 225 Z11's on the street and track. -2/-1.5 on the street, -3/-1.5 on the track, GC street plates, OE M-sport springs, struts and bars, M3 rear bushings, M3 front arms. 225s fit properly on the OE wheels. I would go wider if I changed the wheels, but will definitely stay square.

The factor limiting front camber on this setup is interference between the OE springs with the strut tower. They will hit at something over -3 degrees. Smaller race springs would give you more available travel. My street setting has a bit of toe in. Shifting to the track setting results in a bit of toe out.
