camber plates question

Hello all!!

I currently have a set of shocks, (Koni yellow) and springs, (HR) ready for install, along with Craven STDs.
Not sure what other parts I really need, but the strut mounts-would it be more cost effective to get camber plates that may last longer that oem strut mounts?
Do camber plates "replace" that part?

Thanks in advance for any info!!

Camber plates replace the upper strut mount.

Those plates have caster adjustment which is pretty nice. I'm not sure how much room there is in the mini strut tower for caster adjustment but any additional caster is great. I would be curious whether that spherical bearing is replaceable since they do eventually wear out. Overall though looks like a good camber plate option.
