Are you certain you have excessive negative camber? If you look at the tires from the front of the car, do they cant in at the tops, like this:
//----\\
If it's not obvious that the tires are canted toward each other at the top, then I'd be skeptical that you have a camber issue, especially if the springs are stock, in which case it's more likely a toe-out issue, not camber. If you find the car to be very responsive to steering inputs, almost too responsive (that is, twitchy), or doesn't track well on the highway, I'd be even more suspicious of a toe-out issue.
Re-setting the toe is easier, faster, and cheaper than having someone monkey around with camber/caster shims. If you go to a shop and say, "Fix my camber," they might not solve the problem: they may merely perform the work you ask them to, which is a bummer if you have too much toe-out.
