camber adjusting

I'm kind of new to suspension set ups and I could use some help with the camber adjustment. I am running with GC's and tokico illuminas. Lowered 2" front 1.5" rear, and the illumina settings at 3 in front and 4 in the rear. With 17x8 borbet type e rims, and kumho ecsta mx tires, 245/45/17. I just purchased eibach camber bolts, and accidently order 2 pairs. They are meant for the top bolts only, with a adjustment of +/- 1 degree, can I use them in the bottom too to get additonal negative camber or will that ruin anything? From what I've read, lowering past 2" should have -1.5 to -1.75 degrees camber, and I just dont want to get too much premature tire wear. I dont autocross, but I do drive fairly aggresivley. Thanks in advance.

Since tire wear is your priority I'd keep camber to neg 1.5 or less with stock toe-in. The more neg camber you have the worse your acceleration and straightline braking will be.
