A little negative camber is a good thing even in normal driving, since when you take corners the car rolls over and takes it away on the wheel that's then carrying most of the weight at that end. IOW, you end up cornering more toward the outer shoulders of the outside tires than equally across the entire treads.
About the only place where straight-up zero camber is best any more is at the dragstrip. And ideally that would be with the front end raised slightly as it would be under WOT acceleration in 2nd or perhaps 3rd gear.
In fact, if you meaure your REAR tire cambers, you may find out that they aren't exactly zero either.

its been really rainy here so haven't gotten to measuring the camber yet, but all I know is that I just gotta get rid of that hideous wheel gap and I want the handling to be
better than before, not worse. here on AM im looking at spending something like 8 hundred bucks for that between springs, shocks and struts, and CC plates plus any installation and alignment fees
