general camber question...

well, forgive me... as a former Z4M owner, the folks on this site have always been very knowledgeable about cars. i went to the dark sid, bought a Boxster S a few months ago....and am finding the porsche audience... not so much. so.

so here is my question, i had a set of shorter springs installed today.

the car dropped about 1"...
one thing is bothering me.... the amount of negative camber now in the rear.
before my 19"s with 15mm spacers sat nearly flush with the wheel well. now they are tucked in at the top of the wheel well... negating the effect of the spacers. call me crazy... but i HATE the effect visually... HATE IT! i want the wheels flush.

what are my options?

can i ask to have the camber readjusted?
and will that create a problem handling wise or tire wear wise? the guy who did the work builds and races porsches... i'm wondering if he gave me too much camber effect based on his taste and preference... this is all new stuff to me so any advise would be great.

otherwise.... there will be a set a 'barely' used springs on the market next week!

TIA
A
