Shift is on the keyboard for a reason. Your question also leads me to believe you were educated by a pack of one eyed monkeys.

If I were you, I'd "get" camber through the following methods.
- Popping the alignment pins and getting an alignment (~0.1 deg)
- M3 front suspension conversion (~0.7 to 1 deg)
- Camber plates (~2.5 deg)

The above methods are additive and for the front suspension only.

Personally I like the handling at -3.5 deg Front, -1.8 deg Rear, but based on your "oem shocks", I highly doubt you've done anything to actually add negative camber. Stick with stock alignment settings until you're willing to pay to play.
