Crash bolt installation question

I want roughly -1.25 camber with OEM crash bolts and Eibach pro kits.

1) When people want to add "more camber" does this mean they want more negative camber? or positive camber? (more camber sounds to me like you want to have higher positive camber)

2) When installing the crash bolt, would I need to push the top of the brake rotor in (which results in a higher negative camber)?

1. Generally people mean negative. With these cars you often need to remove some (negative) camber (once lowered) but add negative to the front.

2. Yes.
