Negative camber shouldn't be dangerous on its own. Something else might be going on. You also have a third option which is buying adjustable control arms front and rear.
According to the alignment specialist I took it to, the wheels are going every which way, not just toed in. He speculated it was an amateur weekend warrior job. What’s more, the Porsche dealer put one of the tires on backwards! Thanks guys, for making me take more time out of my life to fix your stupid mistake. The alignment guy said what you said… He can’t adjust it until the control arm issue is solved. All three Porsche specialist I have taken it to say these lowering springs alone are a bad idea.
