Post weird strut camber brace

Bought a camber brace for my SC and in the installation instructions it states to remove the back 2 hex bolts. I have noticed other brands state to never remove the back bolt that is towards the outside of the car. Hmmm! Any thoughts?

Also this brand does not require attachment to the top of the strut but attaches under the 2 back hex bolts. Will this type of strut brace work. Not sure how this brace will keep the camber in check without being attacked to the strut.

I just installed a strut brace that is secured by the inside rear and the front hex bolts w/ instructions not to remove the outside rear hex bolt. Guess what? Removal of the front hex bolt allows the strut to move inboard - thereby increasing negative camber! I was able to get it back pretty close to where it was based on the marks on the original rubber washer. I'm going to have new tires put on later this week and I'll have the front end checked.

This strut brace also is secured by the shaft of the strut.
