Contact Megan to confirm that they will work on the 986.

Only if worn or damaged.

You want as much negative camber as you can get. Max stock camber is around -1.0 deg. I don't know how much more you can get by slotting the shock towers, but if you can get around -2.0 deg total, that would probably be all you could ask for (but I don't think that you'll get another full -1.0 deg from the slots).

- If the shocks are worn, then everything else is worn too. Have you thought about all of the rest of the suspension components?
- Have you considered the M030 set up?
- Depending on your driving level, you might need front adj lower control arms to get enough negative camber in the front.

Your limited budget is better spent elsewhere.
