Rotating Strut Mounts for Neg Camber

I have read about rotating strut mounts to gain negative camber, so how it this done exactly?

Can the car just be jacked up and then loosen the 3 top nuts and rotate? If so then do you rotate 120 deg? and it which direction? CW or CCW?

thanks,
dr

Found out you need the GT3 upper mounts to do this. Suncoast has them.

They look like this.

if memory serves me correctly the three studs have to be moved to the other three holes, which effectively rotates the strut

For more negitive camber do the GT3 LOWER control arms...that way you also get a little more track/width too.
