Uneven camber?
I recently gotten an alignment for my DC that's dropped on koni/gc and it turns out I have -1.6 degrees on the front left and -1.3 degrees on the front right. My drop is pretty even on the front and I double checked before my alignment. What concerns me is the uneven camber. Is my camber uneven because the drop is uneven? I was under the impression that if I were to drop my car the same amount on both sides, the camber should be the same. Or does the difference not matter that much?

Not enough to worry about IMO. You should check your ride height on both sides and/or scale the car to make sure you are not goofed up on your corner weights.

Check to see if your subframe is centered. If it has been shifted to the side, it will add negative camber on one side while taking it away from the other. Caster is also affected by the subframe position.

Bent suspension parts
Incorrect parts installed on only one side (its happened to some people when buying used)
Frame damage
Uneven ride height (though generally not very noticeable in terms of camber differences)
