As far as I know you're the first person to require anything but stock inner or outer tie rods in order to get a usable amount of camber, with any combination of reasonable ride height, offset upper bushings, or extended lower ball joints.

I would think lowering the car would make your problem worse. At factory ride height, the tire rods are roughly parallel with the rack. When you lower your ride height, the rack sits lower than the tire rod ends, forcing the tire rods to point up and effectively reaching out a shorter distance. I have my car lowered a bit on coilovers, and I recently added rack spacers to eliminate bump steer. I had to dial out a fair amount of toe after adding the shims to pull the wheels back to neutral toe. 1/2" rack spacers created ~4mm toe out at each wheel on my setup.
I supposed you could try shimming your rack up, but it sounds like you're coming up really short.
