There are camber bolts in the front struts one in each side, think it is the top bolt but could be wrong, i just marked them with tipex before I took them out, but still going to have the alignment done just to be sure.

I have been thinking about it and can't understand how changing the suspension struts would affect the alignment. The coilover struts aren't camber adjustable because all that is located on the wishbone that the struts are fixed to.
It says on the Driftworks link that you originally posted up though, that a great feature with the HSD suspension coilovers is that they are camber adjustable both front and rear, so there must be something there that can be adjusted to set them up, I wouldn't just guess.

To be honest I don't have a clue ???? The tops of the struts are solid and don't have the adjustable bits I will post some pics of the tops..

This is what I thought they would be like
But this is what I got ????
Apparently they don't need the adjustable bits on the GDB impreza because you can adjust everything anyway. Don't know if that's correct just what I was told by a guy who works at Derrick slack Subaru in Middlesbrough

I'm going to ring driftworks tomorrow and ask em what's going on with these they state on the site that they are top adjustable for camber and they clearly are not.. Will probably end up sending them back

I know but I don't think they have different pics for different cars. I think they just use a generic picture for all cars. I'm going to find out tomorrow and I will keep you informed

Looks like I have been violated by false advertisement then. Am not happy. I didn't want to roll with the camber on the front or rear but that's besides the point
