-1.9 on the left side is a little bit out of spec. -3.4 on the right side is way out, and the differential isn't good either.
My theory (not based on any evidence) is that:
1) the Aero has a little more negative camber anyways b/c they shortened the springs but didn't change the build geometry.
2) the bushings take a set over time, causing more negative camber
3) the springs might take a bit of a set as well, causing more negative camber.
The first thing to do is diagnose the difference - something on the right side is amiss. After that's done, I'd recommend adding shims to get the camber back towards one degree on either side. Then at 100K, if it's drifted out of spec again, look into new bushings.
