hmm there should be 4 nuts at the top of the strut tower, u raise the car off the ground then losen them and adjust to whatever angle you want. there should be marks on the camber plate that says 0-3 degrees

i think.... someone please confirm

well this is what i did......first get the camber corrected to so that you wont be wearing out the tires faster......then mark it or remember where it is set at......then when you go autocrossing or whatever....jack the car up and loosen the four bolts and adjust how much camber you want....when your done having fun...you can adjust it back to the correct setting .......
