Installing Coil SumoSprings # CSS-1145R on your 2012 Toyota Highlander will not affect the rear axle alignment or the wheel camber. However, to install the springs you have to jack up the frame of the vehicle until the suspension is fully extended.

While it isn't likely that doing so will have an impact on the alignment or camber that is the only part of the installation that could change the alignment. Wheel camber is basically a non-issue. I have linked the instructions for you and a video showing an example installation on a different vehicle.
