I was hoping that someone who has experience with this kit could give me a heads up.
The front camber stays within spec but the caster is slightly out of spec. It's not enough to warrant buying a camber kit but helps with tuning.

The rear camber is most likely going to go past 2 degrees of negative camber and a camber kit is recommended to get back within spec.

Negative camber isn't a bad thing though. It actually aids in handling. Your toe alignment is what is most critical which is adjustable on your car factory.

My suggestion, get the Eibach rear camber bolts for your car and have it all aligned to factory specs. The rear arms are nice but probably aren't needed.
