Thanks for your evaluation, Andy.

The lowering springs will greatly aggravate the negative camber
characteristic of this suspension.  To correct this condition to a
reasonable degree (pun intended), you will need to use all the tricks
discussed on this list toward this end.  Preloading the upper strut mount
isolators, and moving the lower arm's pivot points inboard (see my 12/6 post
to Ingo and the list, Re: Finished installing H&R springs,).

Measure the resulting camber with the H&Rs and let me know how you correct
it.
