can you just adjust them or have to do the alignment too? i am also thinking of adjusting it as it rubs on my rears.

When I did my coil-overs I went and got an alignment 10 days later, I could feel that I was out in the front. They did a 4 wheel alignment (off in the front by half a degree, off in the rear by 1 degree) and adjusted camber (right rear was 3.3 degrees, which is way too much), for $90 CAD. Shouldn't be more than $150 tops.

As for -2 negative camber, just tell them. If they have a 4 wheel alignment machine (the one that takes a photo of the wheels), all they need to do is adjust the control arms until you're at -2 degrees. I ended up at negative 2.2 right rear, negative 1.8 left rear.

1.8 and 2.2? would this affect the tires or anything in anyway?
