Using your photo and my iPhone that looks like about +10 deg camber; stock is +1 deg. Have you got, or did you have an offset upper bushing? Was the car in an accident?

Looks to me like glemon may be right. I don't think you can get more than 1-2* out of eccentric bushings.

Yes, car is just lowered off jack stands. Hoping it settles a bit.

You have to move it back and forth to settle the wheels into the correct camber. They'll be cocked if you just lower it off the stands without pushing it a ways till the wheels even out.
