Question Question for Cusco A-Arm owners???

Just got my set of Cusco adjustable A-arms in the mail today from Z1, and they look pretty sweet! I was just wondering though, (since all the directions are ENTIRELY in Japanese), how does the process work? Are the arms adjusted while the car is actually on the alignment machine? Or, are the arms adjusted before they are installed? If anybody can shed some light on the how these work, I'd appreciate it. Thanks! :-)

There are 5 adjustmens, with only 1 of them adding + camber. I would just set them all the way positive (assuming thats what you want) before they are installed.

Just curious...what would the adjustment look like for very positive camber? Here is a picture of the A-Arm out of the box:

Top right is full positive. Top left (where yours is currently positioned) is 0, and the 3 below each add progressively more - camber.

Seems to me I've seen a post where someone found a way to
get more positive correction.
A "cusco" search might find it.

Like above I'd start with the standard + adj, then go from there
