check the allan bolts on the camber kit, unless you have the new style one without nuts

I'd say your rotors are warped and it has nothing to do with the suspensions settings.
I recommend turning the rotors or replacing them with Powerslots. Powerslots run about $150/pr for that car. Turning costs maybe $10/rotor and doesn't permenantly fix the problem.
Werd.

You already got your answer. Turn your rotors or get new cheap ones and get new pads while you're at it.
