Default Neg Camber

Hi all,

I seem to have more neg camber on the passenger side wheel on my three door. I can see there is slight distortion near the turret on inner wing and can imagine that hitting a bad pothole has caused this!(Using adjustable TCA's to correct at moment)
I currently have a forge strut-brace that is adjustable(mounted on top of turret), but have read somewhere on here that you can but a strut-brace that is fixed to the inner side of the turrets that are exactly the right length? Which strut braces are these ? Begins with T I think?
Also does anyone know the length of these along with measurement from turret top to turret top across the car?

Thanks for any and all help. Tim.

how much difference is there between both sides? some difference would be normal as most cars are not spot on identical. i would also think turret damage would have to be fairly bad to cause a significant camber change.
