"These Fastcam camber adjusting bolts from Ingalls Engineering are intended for use in vehicles with abnormal alignment and are designed to replace the non-adjustable factory equipment. These bolts allow up to +/-2 degrees of adjustment. They are not intended for vehicles with suspension and/or steering systems modified for racing, competition, or any other non-standard purpose."

 
You are busted.

 
You have no idea how many people use these exactly for that purpose though.  Mine all still look brand new.
I truthfully dont care because they do what I need them to do.  I do know that people with much faster cars than mine use them too.  They only put that on there for thier liability.

Edit: actually those arent the ones I used.  I used the spc ones here - NO mention of not being used for racing on them!

Shoot, I'm just teasing.  That looks like a good product at a good price for some extra adjustment.

Are the creaks from your chassis or from the springs/struts themselves?
Mostly from the struts. Maybe a little from the chassis though. Either way, I bet it goes away when I go back to separate springs. I really don't think ford intended for that much load to be placed on the strut towers. 10 years ago when I did all these mods I cared only about saving weight, but now I'm older and I want a smooth quiet ride. Cant wait to go back to a progressive rate spring too.

Do you have the bearings installed between the top of the coil over plate and the the CC plate?  That is supposed to help with the noise along with the teflon inserts.  At least that is how my Griggs coil overs work.
