Camber Issues - not enough negative!

I added camber bolts to my fit and am still getting horrible outer shoulder wear on my front tires. I drive my fit somewhat aggressively into the turns, but is this something the fits are known for? I've never killed the shoulders on tires so quickly!

What kind of camber values is the car currently set at and are you sure it’s not toe in that might be chowing the tires?

Did you recently lower your car? I did my spring/shock/camber bolt install in my garage, and it was surprising how much the toe changed.
