swap-related negative camber

hi folks, i recently noticed that my camber is out of whack, equally negative on both front wheels. it's not visible in the stance but after 8k miles the inside corners of both tires are worn down.

perhaps the 5 cylinder engine and the sacked light-duty springs are contributing factors. the lower control arm bushings are also done and i have the new ones in hand already. i think they are the last of the ancient suspension components.

please help me out with the strategy to make the next set of tires last a bit longer. should i put in the LCBAs first and get an alignment before doing anything else, or is this a known problem resulting from the swap? will i have to update the springs? thanks for any info.
