its a gamble, some have needed it, some have not. One way to find out is install , and take it to get aligned, if they cannot get it within spec then you'll need them.
If your car has seens alot of bumps, and pot holes, and your suspension parts have been worn out, and maybe certain parts slightly bend, or lack original strength, you may not be able to get within spec. . . this is my own home grown speculation.
Drop it and get it aligned. You can get the camber bolts for about $30 shipped.

depeding on the severity of your drop, you may need adjustable control arms and adjustable tension rods to get your car to align properly. The camber kit really works if you have about 1" drop. 2-3" requires new control arms and t/c rods.

There are camber plates you could get which would be a lovely addition, but cost (brand new) is close to $450 from stillen. I believe someone was selling a pair in the F/S section, but dont know if they still have it for sale.
What I was going to do before was, drop the car S-Tech/AGX, go and get it aligned, if they couldnt get it withing spec then I'd order the camber bolts. From Tirerack the slowest they can get it to you is in 2 days, jack up the car and spend 20 mins putting them on and drive back to the shop to get withing spec. Two days of driving with your alignment off wont eat up your front tires. Sometimes the shop your getting your alignment done might have some in stock and would sell you some (not too sure about quality of them).
