Eibach Camber Bolts
#2
They are good for about 1*, but would NOT use them! I think Ford makes a set and the only ones I would consider, but much better off to purchase a set of CC plates. This will be much stronger and allow more adjustment to camber and caster as well.

Eibach Camber Bolts
Limited funds right now. The Ford bolts are made by Moog, and are identical to the Eibach. Already installed. Going to get alignment tomorrow. I don't drive like you Jazzer

I had a set of the Eibach camber bolts on my '08 GT for a year or two, and numerous autocross events. They didn't slip, just removed them when I changed out my struts and shocks last week. I wouldn't use them for a permanent solution, but for a cheap and easy way to adjust camber they've worked for me. I've used camber bolts on my last two Mustangs and several other cars in the past as well.

The Ford bolts are comparable to the OE bolts as measured by the installation torque required/permitted, and I think there's maybe one aftermarket product that allows installation at least to Ford's 148 ft-lb coarse-thread spec. Note that Ford went to fine-thread bolts and a 166 ft-lb torque spec for the S197 somewhere after mid-model year 2008.

Mine didn't slip when I had them on my '01 Bullitt or my current '08 GT, but most of the time when I was autocrossing I wasn't on R-comps. Most of the problems I've heard of them slipping have been with people autocrossing them with true race tires, like Hoosiers. On the smaller, lighter cars I've used them on in the past, they didn't slip even with race tires.
I suppose they'd probably be ok long term on a car that was never driven hard, for street use only, but It would probably be a good idea to check your alignment at least once a year to make sure everything was still ok. Since camber plates for our cars are so readily available, and not terribly expensive, I still think that is probably a better long-term solution.
