+1. Check to see if it still has the alignment pins (small silver pin on the strut tower by the strut mount bolts. If this isn’t there (just a small hole) it’s probably tell-tale that the previous owner did work to increase negative camber.

EDIT: I checked some old alignment notes, and we were running -1.1 up front on ours when we pulled the alignment pins (before installing the M3 control arms). This is likely where you are as well, though there may be some room for improvement on the L/R split there. If you have a desire for more negative camber, the m3 control arms are a great addition (especially if you have aged bushings anyway).
