I think camber bolts are just fine. I say that becasue the official procedure for camber adjustment in the Ford factory service manual is to use camber bolts. The manual even describes how to install them. Also, the OEM front struts even have marks on to assist in the process. This, combined with the fact that bolts are much cheaper than plates, makes it clear to me!

I think you could do it yourself if you really wanted to. You'd need a camber gage or an angle-finder. However, if it were me I'd just take it to an alignment shop and have them do it. This is their bread and butter, and alignments are not very expensive. Plus, alignment shops tend to have computerized machines to assist in the process. They can do it much more accuratley than the average garage mechanic can.
