Easy to adjust camber plates? (currently have K-Mac's)

Sorry for the title confusion I have K-Macs not promacs

Ok so heres the deal I got some promac camber plates and I know how to use then but EVERY shop I go to either:

A: cant get my car on the lift as its to low (PSS9's as high as they will go on the front)

B: cant figure out how to adjust the camber plates in the front, I explain it to then and they just look confused...

SO, now that I have rounded out my ever so sweet Bridgestone RE-11's and Im going to have to get another set, I figured I'd get a set of plates that even a crew cheif (flightline talk) could figure out.

I could do it my self at the base autohobby shop BUT I'm convinced that the lifts are made for lifted trucks.

SO, now I'm in the market for new camber plated that wont lower my car and are "user" friendly any suggestions.

I'm not familiar with the pro-mac camber plates, but i'm not sure if any of the camber plates on the market for mini's lower the car at all, if anything, i thought they raised them a bit... This sounds more like a suspension thing, don't the bilstein's go super low? I had thought they were really slammable coilovers... Also as far as easy to adjust goes, as far as i'm aware, they're all the 4 allen head bolt system... with the exception of the IE fixed camber plates...

The Hotchkis plates are WAY easy to adjust- just jack up the car, loosen two bolts, slide plate to desired mark, and tighten bolts.
