Spacers are a personal choice. Most people use them to improve the look of the wheel fitment and they also change the handling a bit due to their wider stance.

The rear camber arms are needed because you will find it difficult to impossible to get the camber in spec on shorter springs using the OEM camber arms.

i wasn't aware spacers were expensive. seem to go for $220 per spacer. i think i'd leave it without them lol
