Alignment can't really be done at home(unless you have you own alignment kits or know how to do string alignments). So, stop messing with it and take it to a shop to get it properly aligned.

Could we get some English in here please? 
Why do you want to remove negative camber? You realize your handling will suck more with straight up 0 camber, right?
And yeah, you need to have it dialed in on an alignment rack. Or just toss those camber kits and put stock arms back on and not worry about your negative camber.

I already told you what you need to do. Get it dialed in on an alignment rack, probably around -1.5 to -1.75° camber. Or just toss the camber kits, put stock control arms back on, and let the negative camber ride how it is at whatever ride height you're at.
Toe destroys tires, not negative camber.

Yay camber!!!

The guy at the goodyear store was making me so mad.
Tech: Is the car lowered?
Me: Yes, a little.
Tech: It's going to be $70 more for the alignment.
Me: What extra labor is involved since it's lowered? You're still just adjusting the toe.
Tech: No, kid, when you lower a car you have to adjust the camber, caster, and toe.
Me: Well, it's a good thing my caster and camber aren't adjustable then. Isn't it.
Tech: Your tires are going to wear unevenly.
Me: They've had similar camber for 6 years now and it hasn't been a problem.
Then he just smiled and said "okay okay"

OP, do you have an EK? they generally have a lot of camber in the rear. you can just use a standard shim/washer type of "kit" to dial out some extra camber in the rear.
you really dont need to mess with the front camber. unless you have bent suspension. whatever its at, its fine. just go and get an alignment to fix toe.
and yes, this is the same advice everyone gets, i dunno why i keep bothering and repeating myself....
