Anyone have experience with K-Mac (Australian company)camber kits, are they they adjustable via top of the strut?

No.

But please hang on for a month or so (probably mid-late Jan). I will have something available for everyone who is looking for camber adjustments.

K-Mac make a less expensive alternative to the various Tuner camber kits that are available on the market and are quite popular within the BMW community. The camber and caster is adjusted by shifting/sliding the two assembly rings in various directions. Camber and caster is a compromise with the kit and although you can rotate them to fit the strut tower in three different directions, you cannot get maximum camber and caster at the same time. But they are good for about 3.25 degrees of negative camber and about 5.5 degrees of caster at the same time. The also have made eccentric camber bushing for the rear, but have been known to fail and pop out of their assembly.

Unfortunately, no one is making a kit for the W203. The construction method used in supporting the strut within the bell housing prohibits the movement of the strut shaft anywhere but center as it comes through the hidden bearing and through the top of the housing where it is secured. A complete re-working of the strut tower would be necessary to accomplish the goal of offsetting the strut assembly inward toward the centerline of the car.
