Lowering the suspension results in the camber becoming more negative. The WIS even has a table in it comparing the camber to ride height.
I'd recommend getting a rear alignment using shims, and a front alignment by grinding slightly oval one of the front strut mounting holes. The Saaab Store in Tampa, Florida did both for me and brought camber back to spec for a *normal* 9-5. Unless you're racing, you won't notice the change in handling from less negative camber.
FWIW, the BMW people have it even worse, with chewing through the inside edges of their tires at 15 or 20K considered noral for ultimate driving (this according to the guy who writes the tech talk column in Roundel).
