i've got a set of eibach/spc camber adjustable top mounts on my sport with a shock/spring set up, never had any problems in the 10yr's they've been on the car.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

Why do you want to adjust the camber/castor on a cab :?

they look like they would do the job,

at that price range just be careful with the bearings as they might need greasing once a year at best or replacing at worst.

these are the one's i've got

but as you can see not cheap lol,

the ones you've posted should be fine though, just be aware that if you go for full neg camber the top hat on the shock will rub on the inside of the strut tower.
