I don't believe in them.
I think they are a waste of money.
If you want to adjust camber, do it right - get front camber plates.

they don't provide much adjustment at all...

and they can tend to slip out of place.

Contrary to above opinion, I needed a slight camber adjustment on my '89TII back in the mid '90's. The weak nature of the front end tends to let the towers close together and camber adjustment needed. I had the front end aligned with the bolts, then later installed an adjustable strut bar. Been fine for over 10 years with no problems, and no uneven tire wear. If I had known at that time, I would have installed a non adjustable strut bar to correct the condition. I did purchase a MazdaSpeed bar a few years ago but it wouldn't fit as the damage was already done, didn't feel like installing the bar, then having the front end aligned and then back with the standard bolts.

I would suggest getting a non adjustable strut bar first, if you don't have one already. You may need to raise the front up on a jack under the crossmember to get it to fit, then have the front aligned.
