If you want to bring front and camber back to spec, you will need a camber kit. That's because you cannot adjust front camber with the OEM suspension components. Also, there might not be enough adjustment in the rear...at least that was my case. On mine the rear camber was only adjustable back to -2.4 (still outside of spec). I have front and rear camber kits because I wanted to be able to adjust and fine tune camber for an aggressive street/light track setup. Your best bet is to install your springs, give them a chance to settle (1 or 2 weeks), figure out what spacers you want to put on (install them), and then do a wheel alignment. Do it in that order. Adding spacers on top of lowering your car will create more negative camber. Then you can decide how much camber correction you need to do...that'll help you decide on whether or not you need camber kits front and rear.
