the only way your tires would sit more square on the road on turning is to reduce caster.
i've observed the same phenomenon on newer mercedes C-class or e-class cars as well. but those are cars that arent supposed to go around corners on full lock, so it's not an issue.
I'm pretty sure I didn't mix it up. My inside tire loses camber and outside tire gains camber.

How much caster are running over stock if any at all?
I'm running in the 9.5 range, stock range.
