Or are you asking if you should have them installed.
Mine was wearing the tires' inside edges - and measuring about 2 1/2 degrees of negative (?) camber (each side). After loading it up with shims, they brought it in to about 1 1/4 degrees. Tire wear returned to normal. This was about 2 or 3 years back. This past year, they replaced the springs (and shocks and rubber parts) and the camber came in at 0.9, the target spec for a non-Aero. No doubt there is some set to the bushings, but they were reported to be in good solid condition, so I left them in place.
Car seems to handle fine.
