if you needed them, your car has been hit, or somthing is wrong in your suspension. a camber kit IS NOT needed for our cars if you drop less than 1.5"

well i need one b/c im looking to do a 2" drop. but thanks for the help. and i JUST bought new tires so i dont want to wear them out unevenly, you know what i mean?
I didn't need one when I installed my sportlines, just an alignment.

"Needing" them or not depends on how much camber you want. I would suggest about 1.5deg for a normal 'performance' street car.

The bolts can also be found at your friendly toyota dealership, but they call them 'crash bolts' or something similar. They're not too expensive and I would expect the toyota ones to be higher quality than the nopi or ebay ones. Its not a part you want to fail.
john, whats the stock amount on our cars?..how do we go about getting the 1.5 degrees all around? is that somthing that they can and will do at an alignment shop?

I'm on full drop with GC's and i don't need one. Been riding almost 2 years on it.
Stock is probably almost zero or maybe just slightly negative. Any alignment shop that will let you specify your settings will do it. Just talk to some autocrossers in your area. They generally have a really good idea of what shops are good and which aren't. You can for sure get 1.5deg with the crash bolts but short of having camber plates made, thats about it. I run with about 2deg all around all year and don't have excessive tire wear. It should be fine, just make sure you have zero toe.

Your wheel offset,width and overall height will also be a deciding factor.

Eibach has camber kits. You can order them from tirerack.com at only $28. I just did.

related question. what size are the two bolts that attach the strut to the steering knuckle? and how about the crash bolts?
