You're gonna have to get a camber kit.

I'm assuming you've just lowered your car, yes? Or at least planning on lowering in the near future?

It depends on if its lowered or not. If the car is lowered its probably beyond the stock adjustment capability for camber adjustment. If it's not lowered they can usually adjust it so the alignment is correct. The front camber kit is pretty cheap.

Damn Josh we wrote at the same time but you beat me!

Re: i need someone that knows what about camber

They should be able to adjust your camber back to spec but the camber shouldn't be out... Is something broken or worn?

Fix your bushings before you get an alignment done. Then ask the alignment shop if they can fix your camber without a kit if it's still out. sdaidoji (Sandro) is the guy on here that probably knows the most about suspension he would be able to answer your question for sure. If you have a stock front end you shouldn't need a camber kit however.

Re: i need someone that knows what about camber

Tbohar is right.
If everything is in good shape, they should be able to adjust - the adjustment is just done by moving the knuckle bolts inside the holes in the knuckle - not a lot, but if nothing is damaged, it should be possible.
if not, time to find out what is bent or bending to cause excessive camber (bushings shot means they will squish under pressure and give the excess camber)
