Camber plates, if available.
Lowering springs will reduce camber, but possibly create clearance issues with the fender.

thanks for your response..im on coil overs and I'm thinking if the 2 bolts from the lower strut can be adjusted to positive and negative camber?

You should get around 3 degrees. There is a thread somewhere around here with a Toyota part number for the bolts. Something like $25.

Only one set of camber bolts is intended to be used on the front. Ask whether the shop will install/adjust two sets.

One bolt in the upper hole should get you - 1.75 of camber.

If you want to get technical the book calls for 66lb ft of torque on the pinch bolts.

If you can jack the car up and take the wheel off you should be able to install the camber bolt.
