Guys, I'm building a Mk1 Scirocco to hillclimb/tarmac rally specs. Increasing the suspension travel front and rear is my major goal. I figure that I'll treat the front to some Ground Control camber plates. They look like the way to go considering that they offload some of the weight from the spherical bearing.

The rear of the car will be a bigger challenge, however. Relocating the mounting points about an 1" higher seems reasonable. The geometry should remain the same, correct? With coilovers front/rear and standard length strut/shock shafts, I should be able to lower the ride height and retain my stock (or better) travel, right? Or, am I missing something?..

Scott,
I had ground control camber plates for my car and they are nice pieces, however they mount on the bottom of the strut tower and use up some of that travel your looking for.
They may have changed the design since.

Yep, they *have* come out with a new product. It mounts to the top of the strut tower. Heres the picture:
