I looked at putting them on my 96, but decided to spend my money elsewhere since the car already has adjustable strut rods. They use an eccentric rather than the jam nut type adjustment. I believe the jam nut is less likely to "drift", but if the factory eccentrics are tight then they work.

Now if you change your camber often then I could see this being pretty useful cause getting that eccentric just right is a pain!
