Agreed, adjusting camber at the knuckle is popular amongst 86/BRZ owners. It is inexpensive and can be quite effective for a number of drivers out there. My statements were in response to Jmarks question (on page 1 and quoted again below for reference) about how coilovers with camber plates dial in camber differently than camber bolts at the knuckle.

Many enthusiasts performing the camber bolt mod may not understand the pros/cons of going this route vs. dialing in camber at the top through camber plates. Compromising inner clearance between wheel/tire and front struts is not ideal for enthusiasts wanting to run wide wheels and tires, and track enthusiast will want a broader range of camber (and caster adjustment) anyways.
