let's say I *do* opt to lock it out, it just means that I would then have only 1 point of adjustment for camber, right? if I dont, will it manage to slip or lose it's setting over time?

Yes, you need them. You need them because you just spent money on camber arms and an alignment.

Without them you waste your time. Your settings will still slip and you've made your alignment that much harder to perform.

Sorry, literally without them you waste money, lol. Pretty much defeats the purpose of the arms

I'll get them installed before my next alignment
Is there a particular brand or set you recommend or are they all the same?
