Luke it quite clearly Say's on the box camber/or Caster.
Depends what the setup is on the car. Novas, and infact most vauxhalls it will adjust the camber.
Okay my confusion about the bolts is no more. Instruction video on the bolts here helps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4Rf0szJEj4 I thought the tabbed washer was supposed to be turned to adjust the camber, but you actually adjust the bolt head, doh!
Here's some pics of how they affect the hub-to-strut angle for those interested in the bolts.
Tab outwards for positive camber:

Tab inwards for negative camber (well, as inwards as I can set it without hitting that lump on the shock). See how the bolt head is sitting much further inwards now?

Here is the angle of the hub to the strut when it is full positive camber:

And at full negative camber, you can clearly see the top of the hub is angled further in to the strut:

I believe my Leda coilovers have these on the front, i think i should investigate, as one of my wheels (cant remember the side) is slightly more on the piss then they other.
Looks like the work quite well.

A few coats of Hammerite black smooth and they look nice:

Rears were in a similar state. They have rusted, but most of the brown you see is copper grease (I thought it would be a good idea to spray this over the threads, but it just seemed to catch muck and make them go manky!

So these were stripped down and sanded back also:

Having trouble getting paint to stay on these, seems to flake/scratch off easily. Must be something to do with them being zinc plated from the factory. Is there a special zinc-plated metal primer I can use?
Christ tops mounts have come up great, really good job.
Using a etch primer should help the paint stick.
