Most adjustable coilovers have adjustment knob that protrudes through the strut tower and with the opening of the strut tower being circular the more camber you load in the less potential caster you can get out of the car.
For me I use the bolts to get more camber at the bottom so I can run the strut more towards the center of the opening in the tower so I can therefore run more caster.

I appreciate the response. I’m familiar with the factors at play, just trying to get input about the specific question I had. Since you’ve used the bolts, would you say it would be easier to install them the same time as the coil overs since the stock bolts have to be removed anyway, or would you recommend waiting until taking the car for alignment?
All the threads I’ve read seem to indicate the bolts can be a pain in the butt to install sometimes due to the holes not wanting to align when the rest of the suspension components are together. I’m trying to avoid causing the alignment shop a headache.
