Default Positive camber!

Ever since i had the sport suspension installed on my car i have had horribly bad positive camber.......
IIRC- (positive camber is where the outside of the tire wears quicker than the inside)
And from what i have read most TI's have negative ccamber after a suspension drop.
I had my car aligned at the dealer about a month ago and i believe my front tires were only 2 ~ 3* positive, but the tires are wearing twice as fast on the outside than the inside.

How can i fix this?
I thought that all the camber kits on the market added positive camber to compensate for extreme negative camber.......
has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks,
DAN

I lowered my car a couple of months ago. I put in a front camber kit at the same time. Still haven't gone in for a wheel alignment. Funny thing is, I looked at my tires closely after doing the LSD install, none of them seem to be wearing unevenly.

Rear camber kit goes in in another month, but as I said, things look pretty good now.
