You have several options..

Front
a) Upper adjustable ball joints
b) Upper control arm mounts.
I much prefer the balljoints as I have shattered both mounts on one side by hitting a pothole on the east side of Atlanta. I had to drive ~40 miles home with my wheel cocked sideways, my car pulling the other way and my control arm dangling.

Rear
a) Washers behind upper control arm mounts
b) Megan Racing trailing arms (I don't think these are an option for AWD models)
You can do the 'washer' trick and unbolt your upper control arm mounts and stick a few 1/4" thick washers behind it and use longer bolts to re-bolt the mounts. You can get several degrees this way kicking out the top of the wheel/tire. I have 4 washers behind mine kicking my wheel out.

I wouldve never thought of the washers thing for the rear, is it eir if only the rear has the exagerated camber? because thats the way it is and i dont like the fact that i bottom out at least 2 a day even wit proper precautions haha
 
Lowering my car 2" front and rear threw the back out way more than the front. Before I got my camber kit I ate through a set of tires on the rear in 2 months. 1 month for the inside of the tire, then flipped it and rode on the other side of it and got a month. Granted I was doing 120 highway miles a day to/from work.
Fronts were perfectly fine though I did put a kit on the front too.
