Getting New Suspension..Camber?

OK, I have decided on the Eibach Pro Kit and Tokico Illuminas. I have searched and read the stickeys for the last hour or so but i couldnt find a link that wasnt broken that talked about camber. Do I need the eibach camber adjustment kit or something similar? How much will the springs throw off the camber? And besides the camber kit, is there anything else I might want to think about while i have the struts off the car. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks alot.

you could replace your strut bearings if you really felt tempted to, i did mine when I did my setup, along with all the bushings, new LCAs and ball joints and tie rods, new axles and new bearings. chamber would be for if your serious about autocrossing IMO.

+1, not necessary. Just get an alignment afterwards. I replaced my strut boots/bumpstops and front strut bearings while it was apart.
