I'm assuming that you want more negative camber in front to reduce tire wear and/or reduce understeer at the track. It is a weakness of the strut type front suspension which does not do a good job of maintaining wheel camber with body roll. Since there is some adjustment available at the top of the strut, you should be able to get both sides even by adjusting one or both top strut mounts slightly. You will get best performance at the track from the front suspension with a lot of negative camber, about 3.0 to 3.5 degrees, but this is not a good setting for a street driven car. Most dual purpose street/track cars end up with a compromise setting somewhere around 2 degrees negative in front. If your biggest concern is understeer, you can also reduce that by setting the front toe to zero, which will decrease straight line stability but will improve front cornering grip.
