What's the ride height? What's it rubbing on?
-1.4 is decent camber if you're not more than 2" dropped - you shouldn't be rubbing fender. If you're more than 2", you probably will have to roll fenders or add camber.
Despite popular belief, 2* of camber by itself shouldn't cause abnormal tire wear, provided that everything else is in good alignment. Lots of cars run 2* of camber *stock*... G35s, BMWs, s2Ks. Running that much though, you HAVE to have your toe zeroed or you WILL kill tires FAST.
Anyway, back to the original question. Assuming that you're dropped less than 2" (which I think is what S2s are supposed to put you at), My guess is that you're rubbing the bump in the left front fenderliner, probably more often when you're turning right. If that's the case, you can pull the liner, or punch another hole in it and try to pull it tighter.
