yes you will need the camber arms in the back if you want to get teh camber back to stock. you can get it close without the arms, but getting your alignment back to stock should be important to you.

The camber will be slightly out of spec if you don't get camber arms. It's up to you if that matters to you. Plenty of people intentionally run more than 2* of camber for various reasons, whether to fit aggressive rims, or to help with corner grip.

these are Ztoon's allignment specs after a 1" drop on BC BR coilovers without any camber kit installed.
so i'm guessing thats about as close to stock as you can get it without a kit

^edited thanks to Dan

i think im gonna see how it is without the arms, its not my daily driver so i might be okay with the camber not perfect. and increased corner grip would be nice
