Default Do I need to buy a Camber Correction Kit?

I'm planning on buying Progress Springs today or tomorrow. Do I have to purshase a Camber Correction Kit with it as aswell? Is it required? If not, what are the pluses and minuses? They're an extra $50. : / On a sidenote, can you guys tell me a little bit about what kind of difference I'm going to feel with the new springs?

most likely you will need camber kits in probably all 4 struts. i have no experience with those, and i cant imagine how to adjust them with those crazy washer thingys but i'm sure someone will
if you want, lower your car then check your alignment. that will tell you if you need them. you will need analignment when you lower it anyway, and camber kits will most likely be required

It would help to get it back to best settings for best tire wear. But in a performance setup it may be pretty good without it but you may even want more in some circumstances.

yea youll have a negative camber so you will have better turning handling but in my opinion the tire wear is not worth it
