Default Need advice on camber/toe kit

I recently put eibach pro kit spring and koni shocks on my Z about 1.5' lower.
after alignment, technician told me the camber and toe could not go back to specification.
Do I need a adjustable camber kit and toe kit? or a camber kit is enough?
Do I need to fix caster? Adjustable Front Upper Camber Arms is necessary?

You definitely need a camber kit and toe bolts in the rear, the front is within the acceptable "aggressive-street" range, but if you want it back to factory specs than yes you'll need front UCAs as well

A set of front and rear camber arms and toe bolts in the back will do it. It's a lot cheaper than replacing tires.

im surprised the Eibach kit is giving you such negetive camber in the rear. the Tein springs i have caused my rear camber to be -2.0/-2.2ish.

1.5 feet lower!? Haha JK. For the rear's I'd reccomend the SPL Rear Camber links, high quality product and will help get you back in the green.

I went with the SPC arms and toe bolts after installing Swift springs. Less expensive than the SPL. The quality isn't quite as good, but for a car that's mainly street driven, I think it's more than fine. You'll get ton's of people chiming in for both.
