Default Rear camber issue

Ok so I have lowering springs in my LS, and I've always noticed I had more camber on one side than the other. It wasn't until I had it on the alignment rack that I got the actual numbers. It seems I have -3* on the left side and -1* on the right, and there's no camber adjustment at all. The alignment guy didn't physically see anything obviously bent, so what would cause this? I know I need adjustable lower arms if I want to adjust the camber, but it doesn't explain the 3 degrees of negative camber. Anyone able to shed a bit of light on the subject?

Seems like your car is set up for american nascar and will only turn left hahaha and it happens when I did my coilovers in the front it was -4 left -2 right I believe. That was before the front camber arms.
