You can get a camber kit at www.summitracing.com Im almost positive thats where I got mine.
Its just an accentric bolt that replaces the stock ones. (where the spindle mounts to the strut). When you rotate the bolt, the offset lobe pushes the spindle either out or in, which alters camber +/-(within a range of +/-3degress). When you acheive the proper reading you tighten them up and your done. I belive it was like 45bux or so for 2 sets, which is 4 bolts.

stop recommending this to people with drop springs. first of all, they suck big fat nuts. second of all if they DO have negative camber it is going to be a fraction, so lets say they have -.5% camber. I know they are "adjustable" but if you ask anyone who have used them long term they will let you know that the bolt WILL rotate. So you could end up with +2.5% or maybe -3.5%. reeeaaal nice.
Yes chevalero, after alignment everything was to spec when I had my Eibach springs. Now that I have coilovers however, I have a drop of about 3-4 inches. My camber up front is approximately -.75% and the rears are well lets just say negative by quite a bit(I'll guess -2%). Since our cars are front wheel drive the rear camber is irrelevant in my opinion, unless you plan on racing of some sort. I havent noticed any abnormal wear on the rear tires after 20,000 miles or so. Front tires have VERY even wear, although they do wear fast, but that is most likely because I drove the car very hard.
Just make sure your toe(horizontal) alignment is to spec and leave it be. You can have the camber checked, but there should be no need to adjust it, it may be off by -.20% or so, probably less. Nothing to worry about.
