The top of the two bolts that attach the strut to the knuckle is an eccentric bolt... if you twist it the camber changes. Usually when you take the the strut off, you mark the bolt so you can put it back w/o changing the alighnment.
However, since you're installing springs, you'll need to get the car realigned anyway after you're done, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just do the install, and "eyeball" the camber when you put it back together. Then take it to a shop and have them align it. Considering the limited range of adjustment w/ the stock struts, it's not a big deal to drive on an unaligned car for a day or two until you get it taken care of, just don't drive it hard.
