Default scrapage!

After a ball joint falling out a few months ago on my '88 WR (passenger side) a shock ended up bent so temporarily the we put alot of negative camber on the front passenger wheel (adjusted by the bottom ball joint). A few weeks ago I got round to changing the front suspension with Boge oil (was gas before) shocks and replaced the springs (H&R -35)
for some reason this made the front end seriously low!
I'm planning on putting a new set of koni gas shocks on teh car when it gets back to the UK but for now the passenger side scrapes the outer wall of the tyre like hell! although the driver side is fine.
I cant understand this as i thought with all the negative camber the passenger side was less likely to scrape.
Does anyone know of a way I can stop the tyre scraping for now (just for the drive back to UK)?
many thanks,
Andy
