Changing Wheel Camber?

[vw_85roccoZ400 at hotmail.com (Brian Spinney)]

Dan,

After a quick search at break time you are correct there is no adjustment on 
MKIV.  The only way is to buy camber strut mount kits which run 1? to -1?. 
So it looks like I will not be changing the camber anytime soon.

Stupid question, but is the camber even adjustable on the 2001?
ETKA shows the strut tube clamped into the upright, so that doesn't look 
adjustable.
Lower ball joint? Upper strut mount?
