Andrew, What Zac said and yes they did come in a couple of different offsets (based only on different bolt spacings), also very often they are different on each side of a 180B, I've even seen one side with an offset top and the other side bog stock but you can't make any assumptions that dealers did this as such without knowing the full history of the vehicle - PO's do strange things to cars. The offset tops have one lug that hasn't got thread all the way to the top - very easy to spot, but the bit I'm not sure about is how to identify the various offsets that they used other than the measuring thing. It could be as simple as a different PN or something like that.

Did they come in different levels of camber adjustment eg .5deg, 1 deg etc, or are all vehicles fitted with them correctected by the same amount?
