The most camber you would run on the street for performance is around -2 degrees. You really shouldn't see any significant difference in tire life from that amount of camber, especially if you rotate your tires and have your toe set properly.

I don't know about how to tell the difference between spc and eibach.

I don't understand though. You didn't confirm if my earlier post was correct about the camber you are trying to achieve.

You don't need camber plates or any other aftermarket part to achieve the camber you are considering. Those are the camber settings the car probably had when you drove it off the lot brand new.
