Default 98 Mustang Camber / Caster Plates

So.....I took my car to get tires put on these rims today and get an alignment.

To my surprise, I am told the car obviously had a front end collision as the frame appears to be a bit bent.

Now I only paid 2200$ for it...and it had an Engine swap to the P71...so it's close to worth just that..

So he tells me on the alignment, that he can't get it to where it should have negative Camber on the one side due to the impact and the fact the front ends slightly bent.

He said two ways to go about it, put it on a machine to have the body straightened out (Not in a condition to go that route), or put on caber/caster plates. This will allow an extra degree of adjustment and get me to where I need to be. He said, put them on, and he will realign again at no cost.

So.....any one had experience with this? I found these online and they say their compatible. Ideas?

Here are a few I found, but they don't all look the same. Some are four bolt, other are three. What do I get?
