I'm going to be getting an alignment soon and would like your opinion/s on whether or not it will be possibe to have it done to spec without camber adjusting bolts.

They can align it without them.

I put H&R's on my fiances car and took it down to get it aligned and they were able to do it without and camber kits. They even did my car with Sprint's on it and that's a 2" drop. So unless they didn't get it right on our cars a regular alignment should do the trick for yours.

Camber question

No you will not because camber is not adjustable. Although it may appear OK to the naked eye, once you drop the car the camber will change as well as the toe setting. Camber can only be adjusted by installing camber bolts (which I think is a waste of money) or go to NAPA and buy either 1/2inch or 12mm bolt of the same length and shank as the strut/spindle attach bolt. Only one per side is needed and it is used in place of the top strut/spindle point. This will allow for camber to be adjusted. Toe in/out is the only adjustment that can be made without mods.
