Update
Finally managed to get my coilovers painted, re did them in trusty silver hammerite spray.
Built them back up this morning and really pleased with the outcome.
Fitted them, used some of those Eibach EZ cam camber adjustment bolts as well!
The adjustment on them is mental I first fitted them and set them to as much positive camber as they would go, Went for a drive and must of had 2 degrees of positive camber! was driving like a dog! Had another fiddel and have got them at what looks like about 0 degrees. Will take it to be set up to around -1degree next week. All in all, very impressive adjustment!

what do you want to know?
Where to buy, how much? and where are they fitted? (obviously thru the strut leg and hub, but I would of though u would need a adjustable top hole on the leg? if that makes sense...)

The shaft on the bolt is actually m10. Whereas the hole is designed for an m12.
The lob on the shaft is @12mm at it's widest point ergo filling the hole completely. The shaft is offset from the head of the bolt which is held central to the hole via the tab washer.
As the shaft is rotated it pushes the suspension leg in relation to the hub upright.
There is a video on LMFs website aswell. Where the are sold for £20+p&p.

well if you make sure your car is completely level and the suspension compressed the same as it would be with the car on the floor. You could put a spirit level aganst a protractor on the face of the disk and set it that way.
