What springs are you going with?
I have a very slight negative camber in the rear and the front, due to the wheels and suspension, but it is NOT noticeable at all. I can't feel it at all. The only time I found out about it is when I did an alignment.

I have the H&R sport springs, and I love them. I love the drop and the ride they gave me. I was told that due to the size of my wheels, the springs would have to be angled a tiny bit, so the wheels don't rub when lowered. Like I said in the previous response, I have a very SLIGHT negative camber, but it is not noticeable at all.
Do it, I'm sure you'll love it.

I went the coilover route. It is more expensive but the ride is perfect and you can lower or raise the car at anytime if you are unhappy. kw makes some nice coilovers. check my kw v1 post for pics.
