I'd just go somewhere else. The only reason they would want to replace two front wheel bearings and one tie rod end would because they have play in them. If I were you I'd check that myself first to save me the trouble of taking it there, then having to bring it back, replace parts, and bring it back again.
And I have no clue why they're mentioning installing Cam bolts? Does that mean camshaft or something else? I doubt that's what it is.

Ahh. Well camber is adjusted by the bolts holding the strut to the knuckle. Why would they want to replace the bolts?

It's the "sucker" up-sell...ya gotta be a sucker to fall for it...

They are wanting to install camber bolts to adjust the camber to counter for being lowered.

If the lowering was done right, the camber would have been adjusted already. No need to install bolts just for a realignment unless the bolts are shot. It's a sucker charge, I'm tellin' ya! Find an honest shop, leave these clowns in the dust!

Is your car in need of new parts? If so, replace and align. If no, then find another shop.
Just have the toe adjusted. That amount of camber won't do anything, the toe out is what's going to ruin your tires.
How?
How do you adjust camber when using stock mounts?
The "right" way to lower is drop spindles. But no one here wants to get into any of that. You'd still gain camber as that's how a well designed suspension works. Get lower, gain camber, up until a certain point.

How do I adjust camber? I take it to my alignment guy, the same one I've been using for 21 years.....he takes care of aligning the whole car, plus making sure the steering wheel is set in the proper position. And he only points out things that actually need replacing, like worn out tires (his biggest complaint with everybody) or leaking shocks or weak struts....never once screwed me over on needing unnecessary repairs or replacements. Alignments are unfortunately something I cannot do in my sad little excuse of a garage.....
