How do you adjust camber on the front after lowering the car?

I am finishing up my coil over and control arm install and can not figure out how they adjust camber at the alignment shop.

You can slot the 3 strut mount holes. Did this like 2 years ago and it's helping with tire wear.

All you can do is balance the camber side to side by shifting the subframe.

Unless you are way too low the little bit of negative camber should be no big deal for a street car. If your tires are wearing unevenly it is most likely a problem with your toe settings.

The rear can be adjusted a little, but not enough to compensate for significant lowering.
