I have it on my 17 mustang gt and I am on eibach sport lines springs and steeda struts and shocks. It helps out but if you are not more than a inch like me you don't need them.. Personally I am going to buy the full adjustable camber arms.

Not necessary but the eccentric makes an accurate, performance algnment much easier (perhaps the only accurate way in fact). Since toe and camber adjustments are related, the ability to make fine adjustments is important. Many shops are unaware of how the rear camber is adjusted and even if they are told about the slotted adjustment either won't do it or just bang on it a few times and declare good enough. My shop really liked it.

Toe and camber are related on the front of the car, because caster. On the rear adjusting one won't change the other very much because the rear tires aren't castered like the fronts.

Strictly speaking, no you don't need adjustable camber arms. Plenty of cars out there who have gotten their rear camber adjusted without the specialty part. Is it easier with the part? Probably, but if you're not changing it a bunch I'd save your money. The alignment shop isn't going to charge you less if you have a nice part versus having the stock adjustment.

Literally watched the rear alignment with the digital readout. My tech took an extra 10 minutes per side iterating between toe link and camber arm before we got things dialed in. The rear suspension geometry is what it is.

Just to be clear the Steeda part we're talking about adapts the slotted adjuster for an eccentric. Steeda also makes an adjustable camber arm. The latter is a whole different thing.
