you dont necessarily need it but it could always help. Only worry about it if your worried about gas mileage or your tire wear

Tire wear can be resolved by an alignment, camber kits aren't necessary like stated.

Do cambers really effect gas mileage?

It can. Your tires are more so being dragged down the road. Resistance. Instead of having a perfectly flat surface creates less resistance.
