There is no additional camber adjustability offered with the B12 kit over the OE dampers. The reason is that the B12 Kit uses the normal OE Top-mounts.

Separately however, there is a small amount of camber adjustability to be had with the OE Top-mounts, by removing the locating pins, which is very easy to do.

Yes there is

It is not an official one but it works

Where the strut arm bolts to the front hub you fit spacers these are in the form of good quality flat washers
These are a few pence each
You will then need to fit slightly longer bolts 10mm 10.9 spec bolts these are about £1 each if that
Next you need a tracking company that will adjust it this way adding washers 1 at a time and recording the difference then setting it to what you want

I can’t find my photo of this on my car but I am sure I have posted it up here before I will have another look
