So as the title states, I got a new set of struts on the car and I noticed an exccessive amount of camber at the rear wheels. Before going ahead and getting camber bolts to correct the issue, what might've caused this in the first place?

You pushed the hub too far in when the two big bolts holding the knuckle were loose. Loosen up those two bolts and pull the hub outwards a bit and tighten it back up.
It is recommended that with ANY suspension alteration - lowering or not - that you get an alignment afterwards due to things like this. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
