I've had my camber bolts in for about two months and ~1,500 miles now and I've run two autocrosses with them. Have not remeasured camber to check but will try to do so. But my eyeball test (and I did my own wheel alignment, so I know what I'm looking at) shows no change at all. And that doesn't surprise me. The crash bolts are very stout, so I'd be surprised if they loosened and moved around. I torqued mine to 80 ft. lbs.
It's true that each bolt is supposed to be good for .40 camber, so two would be .80. I guess those who are getting more than -1 degree camber out of these bolts are starting out with some negative camber in front. That means there's probably quite a range in what we get from showroom floor, both in terms of alignment settings and probably in how the frame is welded together. I wish my car hard started with a little more slop! Just about -1 degree camber on each side was the best I could get with four bolts.
BTW, I found that it's important to simulate the driver's weight in the car when setting camber. You'll find that the camber changes quite a bit when you do this and you might have to go back and readjust your camber.
