Look at the strut towers under your hood. You'll see that the top of the shocks are held in with three screws and there's an additional hole where a pin pokes through. That's an alignment pin that makes sure the shock is always in the same spot. Pull that pin out, cut it off, grind it down, whatever. It'll allow you to move the shock a bit more inwards.

It gives you a tiny bit more camber range. Nothing to write home about though.
