The turrets on mine are redrilled to try and sort the camber.

You can get adjustable camber bolts from demon tweeks iirc.

DO NOT file the holes lol.

redrill the top mount holes is a good one. approx 1mm for every 10mm dropped

I have used those bolts in the past, similar to the works spec adjustable bolts, you just need to remember which way they need to turn and to get both sides the same. Try to locate someone near you that can set the camber accurately though.

I picked up some camber correction bolts for a MK2 Golf from the VW dealership. ?8 for 4 bolts. They are reduced shank to 11mm from 12mm and allow camber changes. May be cheaper than 40 odd quid, depends how much adjustment you need. let me know if you want the part numbers. They seemd to offer a fair amount of adjustment.
