I can't imagine why the top plate is built like it is. Cutting a portion out to allow travel would seem like the answer, but, call Tom Lucas at FE Specialties, in Sac. He might know a solution...he set up my suspension and did a great job. He is an advertiser on this site.

Good luck

Tom

You may have enough travel once you have the wheels on and body height adjusted with your coilovers when the car sitting on the ground. I would check that before doing any cutting on you suspension.

i talked to someone about a year ago with the same situation on his west coast. he had dog bone style upper arms fabricated, west coast didn't seem to have an answer for him. i will check my notes to see if he mentioned where he got them made.
