Cam bolts for alignment after geometry change?

Cam bolts for alignment after geometry change?
I've read about 2 different types of camber adjusting devices which can be used to get alignment in/close to OEM specs. First are some yellow plastic things, for which I have no experience. They would seem like a possible pain - perhaps you had to go back for rear alignment check several times, each time putting in more shims (at home) until the camber is right. I don't think I have access to a place which will not charge for multiple visits, and no idea who would charge nothing to check the camber after each shim addition.
Now I see there are offset camber bolts from Toyota - is this correct? Anyone know the p/n and the intended vehicle which the OEM camber bolts are used? Why 3 bolts and not 4?
thanks,
Mark

Camber bolts are for the front suspension. To align the rear you have to use shim plates. Depending on your drop you can get away with not running the rear shims. Also if you aren't dropping a lot then the stock suspension has enough adjustment in it to take care of any camber needs.

So, FRONT offset camber bolts ARE definitely needed for the NF210 springs? Strange, the only time I've needed those bolts were in the rear...... on both FWD and RWD cars. I guess many car's alignment features are different than others.
Looking for a lead on make and part number (and a vendor, if possible) for the front offset camber bolts.
