you need to have a shop do a 4 wheel alignment,, depending on the camber results it will dictate if you need a camber kit or not ,
camber is not adjustable, so if it out of specs you WILL need a kit or your tires WON'T last long

toe wears tires much faster than camber. i've run appreciable amounts of negative camber without uneven wear as my toe was zeroed out.

camber kits are horrendous for fitment and correction...a few scenarios: you barely affect camber, you have clearance issues that require hacking away at the vehicle, or the camber kits shift under loads. none of those are something i would be looking to pay money for.
