Adjustable lower control arms

Has anyone put on the minisport adjustable lower control arms?? I have them and I didn't realize that you could not adjust them after you installed them. I am wondering if anyone has the technical data for these bad boys. What I am looking for is how turns equals how much change in camber. Anybody??

I don't have tech data but generally as you lower a mini you get more negative camber. If you haven't lowered your suspension you'd need more turns to adjust for negative camber. So stock ride height means less camber and lower ride height means more negative camber and less adjustment required by the lower control arms. See-

Thanks. Someone on MiniMania told me that each 1/8 inch longer than stock equal .5 camber. I will go with that.
