Default Camber / Tall spindle dilemma

Right now, I am at the ride height that I am very happy with but my QA1 coilovers but are all the way down and can feel them bottom out when hitting drainage ditches at low speeds. I never have a problem bottoming out at high speeds so I can avoid this from happening.

I have the old model GW arms and learned that they now have a LCA that allows my coilover to sit an inch lower allowing me raise the coilover 1/2" to achieve the same ride height giving me just enough more shock travel to completely avoid the bottoming out issue. Remember, 1/2 rise since it's 2:1 ratio.

I also, have the Ridetech tall drop spindle and TRU turn kit.
I also, have a bent outer ring on both front wheels that I want to replace.

My main question is, for the street / spirited driving and never seeing the track, with just the GW arms and sway bars, will I notice a difference with the taller drop spindle giving me better camber geometry under compression?

Something tells me that the stock spindle, GW arms, sway bar combo will be more than enough.

What are your thoughts?

The one reason that's making want to run the TRU turn instead of selling the kit is that I can replace the bent outer rings and making my fronts to 9"- 9.5" from the 8.5" and ALSO allowing me to run the CTS-V brake swap via LSX concepts brackets which are designed bracket out there to run them, which I've been wanting to do.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
