The front suspension is not going to see much camber change at all when you lower it. So I'd suspect something is not aligned correctly, or damaged. And how much positive camber do you have?

i checked in the front nothing is bent. i took it to get it aligned and they said they couldn't align it because of the suspension which didn't make sense to me. but again when u got an alignment done isn't it usually toe and not camber? i could be wrong. but wha tthey said at the alignment shop didn't make sense.

I get my alignments done pretty regularly, it's usually...well depends, it could be toe, camber, or caster that I usually see on my print outs. The camber shouldn't be a problem in the front when lowering. It's usually the rear that gets negative camber when dropping the 240. I'm not exactly clear as to what you're saying about what they said.

no camber plates. thats all they said... they said the way the suspension sits they cannot align the front... but i just found out that i have adjustable camber bolt. which can either go +2 or -2 so i'm thinking that is it

go to a different alignment shop and give them the specs you want. that shop probably couldnt do it because they might have the new system. in which case they r right and cant do the alignment. this is because the new system wont move to the next step without everything being to manufacturers spec. which means they cant allign a lowered vehicle.
