Camber Settings

I know this has been talked about quite a bit but I want to run down this street one more time. I'm installing coilovers in my 2007MCS Hatchback. They came with camber plates for the front. I live in NE Alabama and while I don't track or AutoX the car I love going fast on all the nice twisties around here. I've heard that -2 degrees camber is is a happy medium for my type of driving, but then some say more up front is better I'm willing to sacrifice some tire wear for improved handling characteristics in the curvys. Whats the consensus on camber numbers for my "Goldie"? TYIA

I'm on shocks/spring combo and am getting camber plates to have that luxury.

Toe kills tires faster than camber. I'm aiming for -2.5 camber and -1/32 toe in front. But I'll be satisfied with -2.

This is a daily that sees occasional autocross and will see a track weekend in Oct.
