Camber plates allow greater adjustability of Camber. Almost always, it is more NEGATIVE camber that is desired to reduce wear on the outside edges of tires.

Sammy, in your case yes, they would help you reduce excessive tire wear on the outside shoulders of your tires.

The stock 986 front suspension seems to allow between -0.8 and -1.2 degrees of negative camber. "R" compound tires typically ask for -2.0 to -2.5 degrees of negative camber.

While I haven't reviewed all brands available, most differ in materials and overall design, although their goals are the same. Also consider some brands have more experience in certain component designs and it is even possible that 2 are actually alike, only "branded" differently.
