your best bet is to buy some camber bolts and fix that alignment.

it is a DIY (the INSTALLATION of the camber bolts) however, with camber comes funky toe numbers, so you'll want to get the car aligned immediately.

Is there a DIY on installling the camber bolts (I searched) ?

Jack up the car, take off the front wheel, break loose both nuts that hold the strut to the hub. Remove the upper bolt, keep the lower one in place. Put in the camber bolt in the upper hole, torque both bolts to spec, replace the wheels and go get an alignment.

All that said, the camber won't help you a whole lot. You need a bigger rear sway bar, and/or stiffer rear springs and more air pressure in the rear.

Do not remove the front sway bar. Your problems will only get worse.
