Just looked through...
the pictures I got but couldn't find any decent one. sorry for that. As far as feedbacks, I don't really know if there is a difference between using a pair of tie arms and camber kits, performance wise, but the tie arms do make the adjustment a little easier. So far mine are holding up pretty well.

"adjustable tie arms are best, but how good are the camber kits?"
i've worked with KMACs, and the adjustable arms from Stratmosphere, Forge, and ECS. They all perform the camber adjustment function well. I haven't personally installed KMACs but I've worked alignment on a KMAC equipped car. Their access is OK. They work fine. I'm not sure they provide the same range of adjustment as arms, if you're lowering aggressively. The arms are all slighty different in the location of the adjuster. IMO the Forge is the best. The ECS is similar but at least 1 car had problems re-installing the sensor arm for the self leveling headlamps. The arm's adjuster was in the same place that the sensor is supposed to go. The "Strat" arms place the adjuster too close to the wheel... it can be difficult to access unless you have a rack or a pit so you can get under the car. If you're using floor jacks in your home shop like me, you pretty much have to remove the wheel to get at the adjustment. Bottom line: the Forge arms cost more, but they're better engineered... everything fits and the adjuster is in the right place. They're user friendly. If I was doing it over I'd go for Forge..
