I thought they were matched. At the very least they are aligned very carefully at the factory. I have heard that if you take one apart make very sure you put a mark so you can put the corrector back in exactly the same orientation or your performance will realy suffer.

So with a new corrector I am not sure how you would find the best orientation.
