heres my .02............

i feel that camber kits do not do all that much. sute, its just more the wiser if u are driving daily but if u road race, then i feel they are not needed. also, i learned that a bad toe angle is what really messes up tires. camber is over a longer span of time while toe is more likely to cause premature wear.

how low is ur car by the way??????

They are not necessary to the majority of users. Most people with performance-minded goals for their car choose to have a bit of negative camber, as this aids in increasing contact patch when cornering, and better handling is something that can be enjoyed both on the street and on the track. A desirable amount of negative camber can usually be achieved by simply lower the car.
The reasons to buy negative camber kits, then, is optional. If simply lowering the car cannot acheive the amount of negative camber you want, then adjustable camber kits can help. If you want to lower you car but don't want any negative camber at all, then camber kits can help there, too.

There's no need for a camber kit. Whenever changing ride height, you need to get an alignment. Set the toe to 0, not 'in spec', there's a big difference:
