Your Firestone alignment is nearly identical to the one I got at my local Firestone -- I have 0.1 deg more camber front and rear. I still get a little more wear on the outside edge of my RE-71s in our local asphalt lot, but it's not as bad as it was at -3 or -2.5 deg. I think to get even wear I'd have to run -4 in front, -3 rear, but I'm not willing to do that because I still daily drive my car, and my street tires are wearing out considerably faster on the inside edge as it is. I was hoping not to have to flip the RE-71s at my current settings, but it looks like I'll have to at some point.
I also have the Ground Control camber plates and like them a lot. They're quiet, add bump travel, hold settings well, and they come with O-ring sealed radial bearing spring perches that you can take apart and clean and re-grease as needed. I'm not concerned with the minimal caster they can add: in fact I minimized the caster on them because I've found that with more caster, the inside rear tire tends to unload more, as you add more steering input.
