By "more static camber" do you mean positive or negative? I assume negative but unsure since I'm new to suspension mods and setup.
Yep, when I use "more" I meant more negative.

You're also right on why you would want more negative up front. Stock is ~0* and since the camber curve is almost non existent you don't gain (more negative) nearly enough camber as the suspension compresses compared to the rears.

-1.5 up front and -1 in the rear is a good starting point, but will require parts at both ends to adjust the camber. Just adding camber bolts (and maxing them out, then getting a good alignment) will definitely help, especially if it's a really mild drop.
