The need for a camber kit is determined by the amount of drop...Most springs and Coilovers start at least 1" lower so a kit will most likely be needed with either..

Not the case on this car - once you lower the car, sometimes even as little as 1/2 inch, at least an aftermarket rear camber/toe kit is required to bring things back to spec. Up front, the car can deal with, and actually likes, a bit more negative camber. I have not yet seen a proper front a arm set for these cars, but there will be some good, solid options available soon. For the rear, there are several good kits available
