No they don't.  Camber is adjusted by using a bolt to connect the strut to the spindle.  Springs or coilovers have nothing to do with this adjustment.  The coilovers are completely out of the way and won't affect the way it is adjusted.

This is not completely true. Some coilover solutions come with an adjustable top hat (JIC comes to mind) that allows you to move the top of the strut plus or minus about a degree or so.

Toyota makes bolts to correct camber, and if you go with a heavy drop, I would recommend getting them to offset the negative camber increase. They are a hell of a lot cheaper than any of the 'camber kits' that are out there.

There are going to be two factors that determine the camber change when you go to coilovers. The first and most influencial is the height of the drop. The bigger the drop, the more camber you dial in. The second is the amount of play you have in your pinch bolts.

Regardless, if you drop your car much, you should go and have it aligned.
