Since the PP Sachs struts have a slightly larger silhouette in comparison to the non-Sachs struts, inner clearance between strut and wheel/tire is slightly diminished. This really does not come into play with slimmer wheel widths, but 9" wheels are wide enough to the point where all the fine details matter. As described, whether or not small spacers are needed will come down to tire size and brand since not all are created equal.

What tire size and brand do you plan to run? Is this a car enjoyed on the street only, or will it see track time?

For track enthusiasts, adjustable camber plates are the better solution for dialing in negative camber. While camber/crash bolts are cheap, they do not have a broad adjustment range and they compromise inner clearance where space is already pretty tight.

Depending on the wheel and tire setup and the driver's goals and intended use, camber/crash bolts may make sense in some scenarios. With that said, if the driver at hand is investing in wheels, tires and a track alignment with the intention of optimizing performance (grip, turn-in, etc.) and tire longevity on track, it makes a lot of sense to spend a little more money on adjustable plates. You'll get a quick ROI in the form of tire longevity after a handful of track days.

I plan on tracking the vehicle and right now I am aiming at 245/40-17 Kumho V720's. I will also be getting camber plates.
