Alignment and Camber questions for Dummys(me)

From RCE Tarmac springs (same drop as yellows), I ended up with -1.8* on one side and -2.0* on the other. Your results will likely vary.

Here, pretty soon, I am going to be ordering LCAs and unfortunately my tophats are back ordered into next year. So in the interim, when I get my LCAs I am strongly considering running with, but open to suggestions, -1.6* to -1.8* camber angle (highest I can get evenly with both) with 0 toe angle in the front and -1.2* camber angle and 1/32 toe-in (unsure if that means + or -) in the rear. I will pose the question again once I have my tophats.

I actively autocross and DD, I would prefer to focus on grip, but tire wear is important. I am currently on stock rubber, but will be switching to Michelin PSS when I am worn down into the yellow on my current rubber.

Just curious: Which vendor is providing your top hats, and who is the manufacturer?

Thoughts? I'm kinda a suspension and camber newb here. Looking for comments/suggestions on what would be a good place to keep this.
- For reference, I do casual autocross, and love to take windy roads whenever possible.
