I have camber bolts in the front legs to try and even up the geometry and give me some extra camber, however Im sick of the blasted things! They either jump on hard use or I mess them up if I take apart the front suspension to renew something, Its costing me a fortune in alignment!
So I was thinking of those adjustable alloy top mounts, but I dont know much about them. Anyone have experience with them?

What should I be looking for in a set?
Whats the difference between the sets avaliable? Ive seen eccentric/concentric/non adjustable
Will I have to open up the hole on the top of my turret to use them?
Are there any trade offs, or drawbacks to them?
Wheres the best place to get them?
Cheap eBay or a reputable brand/supplier?

They'll be for my saloon which isn't a daily driver, but more of a fast road and occasional track use car.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

They do work well, however eccentric ones are needed if you want to add camber. The ones I have require you to enlarge the centre hole on the turret:
