Dinan vs Turner Fixed camber plates

Does anyone know how much camber the turner fixed camber plates add since the only information I could find on the turner plates was "Camber increases to -2.5° depending on your individual suspension setup" but it doesn't say if that's accounting for lowered ride height, m3 control arms etc.

The reason I'm asking is that with coils, Dinan fixed plates, and m3 control arms I'm at around 2.5 and I was looking to get somewhere between 3 or 3.5 due to fitment and tire wear this car is primarily a track car. I know I can get more camber with vorshlang plates, but I would rather not add an additional wear item and the turner plates are simply a lot cheaper, and easier to install.

Turner sells both, you could email and ask them how theirs are different from the Dinan plates.

Do you have the strut mounts pushed all the way inwards as well?

Not 100% all the way. I asked the shop to get them close to 3°
