I'm not aware of any top mount ones, but I'd bet that just about any could be mounted that way.
The only camber/caster plates that I'm aware of are from Ground Control and AWR
Camber plates are available from Tein, ISC, and others.

Caster helps with stability. More caster = wheels come back to srtraight quicker after turning. Its actually a lot more complew than that but I'm in the middle of finals for school and I'm tired. Google it. Sorry

i think i'm going to start grouping you in the "holier than thou" category with icemark.

Why you being so defensive about it?

even if i didn't know what happens, i think wikipedia explains it rather nicely. i'm not being defensive, i'm being annoyed by your fatherly attitude. but i'll indulge you in my purpose, despite you shouldn't care just like you don't care what i think about you. i asked a simple question. either you have the answer or you don't. i don't need someone barging in trying to critique my decisions, especially someone i don't know.
my goal is to even up the caster setting and eventually play with the setting to find a good balance between gaining camber with the wheel turned but easing the effort required from my newly installed manual rack. the stock 4 position adjustment doesn't give me very much control. a camber plate gives you zero control. since no one's suspension is perfectly symmetrical, a camber plate is going to almost ensure an uneven caster setting between the front wheels.
soooooo, long story short, i exchanged emails with Gia & Gabriel Tyler of technotoytuning and found i'll be buying from them, even though it's only a camber plate. they were very quick to respond and very informative. i also have a machine shop at my disposal (i'm a machine designer) and there appears to be more than enough meat for me to mill some caster slots in their mounting plate. it is one beefy unit for the price ($170) .
