Your car is too low and/or your springs are too soft.

and/or you have the kit adjusted out (pushing the upper control arm out) too far.

Oh and camber is not an object. It's a description of the angle the tire makes with respect to a plumb line.

this is pretty common on cars that are low with front camber kits.
