Default Retaining Negaitive Camber Without Kit

I understand that lowering the ride height can give certain amount of negative camber. However, I noticed it was never even/equal amount on both sides (L/R). How can would you retain even amount of negative camber without a camber kit?
I'm not looking for anyting crazy, just about or under -3˚.

other than bending the knuckle, or just buying a kit, you cant.

Do people without kits just drive with uneven negative camber??
Even if you get a little negative camber from lowering, wouldn't an alignment take it away?
BTW, I'm talking about 92-95 Civic /94-01 Integra chassis.

depnds on how much uneven camber.

within .5* is absolutely fine. more than 1* youd feel the difference.

ive driven with uneven camber. its not a big deal.

a toe alignment doesnt affect camber.

if you really cared and wanted/needed camber as even as possible, then that is one reason i would suggest a camber kit. otherwise, i dont think its worth it.
