Default rear wheel alignment with smart struts?????

I am hoping to get my Corvette aligned tommorrow and have a question about alignment with the smart struts. Do I set the adjuster bolt in the end of the smart strut so that the smart strut is parallel to the driveshaft, then adjust the camber with the adjustable strut rods or what? Why do I have both adjustable bolts and adjustable strut rods?

You don't need both adjustments. I would set the strut rods parallel to the drive shaft then have the car aligned using the adjustments of the strut rods and later tac weld the adjustment cams to make sure they do not move.
