Default Negative camber after spring install...

After installing my Steeda sport springs, I have approx. 2 degrees negative camber in front. I have not given a really good look under there yet, so I was wondering if there is anything I can adjust myself to correct that, or do I need to take it to a shop? Is the camber adjustable at all without additional hardware?

My rear axle moved 1/8" to the left, so I'm going to leave that alone.

Love the springs, BTW. They feel good with the stock dampers.

Thanks for any advice.

Several different ways to adjust camber. Simplest is a pair of camber bolts for about $20. Steeda sells a camber plate kit for about $190. Finally you can slot out the lower strut bolt holes as outlined in the service manual, cost $0 if you already have a carbide bit. Adjust it back to around -0.5 degrees.
