Set of front perches/spring hats/nuts for new coils?

Has anyone bought an extra set of upper strut assemblies to install with new coilovers, so you don't have to disassemble the OEM strut? Last time I tried to reassemble the OEM struts, it was a PITA, so I'd like to just get another set of perches/hats/bearings/nuts to install on the coils.
Where to purchase?

Thanks

I don't have any experience with camber plates. Looking at the Vorshlag plates, it replaces everything huh?

Im using the ground control plates, lil stiffer and louder during low speeds but other than that its been great so far. Way cheaper than the Vorschlag which offers caster/camber but cp also has the race option with both camber/caster for 409.00.

Very easy to install too, theres grooves on the plate to push/pull camber adjustment. and just leave your oem set alone.
