I'm not sure what you mean with your last sentence?
The camber plates you ordered are adjustable. You use them to dial in the camber that you like. There is no "dialing in camber on top of the plates" - the plates are what allows you to modify the camber at all.

Personally, I run nearly -3 degrees up front and -2 degrees in the rear.
Combined with almost no toe in the front and slight toe-in in the rear and you'll have a very responsive setup that's still easy on the tires.

My car is a daily-driver + autocross + track car and I don't modify my alignment at all. Despite running -3 degrees camber up front, my street tires are wearing pretty evenly. I think that's mostly due to running neutral toe up front.

Your mileage may vary...
