Quick Question For Those with Ground Control Camber Plates

I have searched several GC camber plate threads but could not find an answer to this specific question.... Will the stock strut bearing dust boot fit over the camber plates once installed?

I plan to take advantage of the adjustability of camber plates, but I don't see the need to constantly adjust them on a routine basis. So I would like to keep the added dust/dirt protection by retaining the dust boots especially since my car will still see plenty of street duty, even if slight modification to the dust boot is required. This question is also directed to those with GC plates and the stock EDC suspension, which is what I will be running (if it matters).

Thanks!

It's been a while but I think in the F8X I had to remove the dust boots to connect the ed cable

I concur. OEM top caps covering up those beautiful camber plates. EDC wires no issues.
