Just wondering if the stock upper strut mounts can handle the hard street caster settings.

Some cars can; not all.

The majority will make it to "street".

You can lengthen the slots with a wiz wheel. Of course this may lead to other problems (tires rubbing the fender wells near the door), but that's another matter besides "is it possible".
