That's not a "small" drop .. it isn't a huuge one tho ..
You may need a set for your fronts, but not on the rear .. maybe ..

I have the eibach sportlines, and I've never bothered the rear at all ..

If your did not drop more than 2" you might get away with a wheel alignment. Try that before a camber kit.

Well its small imo...since its not gonna slam it. But thanks ill get it alined and see how it goes. Since its got new ball joints and control arms in the front

It's a good thing to do whenever you revise the dynamics of your suspension.
No matter what changes you make, one thing always affects the other thing(s).
Specially the front ..

You'll feel alot better ride as well with the new ball joints along with new UCA's.
What brand springs did you pick up? Very smart of you to get the front end going first.
It can sometimes be one of the more challenging chores for uhh, .. some of us ..

If you want to keep camber in spec, you will need a camber kit (front and rear). These cars have no adjustment for camber and at stock ride height camber is in spec. Even if the stock springs sag too much camber will fall out of spec.

Yeah you definitely want a camber kit and a wheel alignment also if you got the $$. I got the eibach camber kit for my front. Didn't really see any other ones for the rear besides Megan which aint all that great

I have read on this forum somewhere about using washers in the rear.

That's about all you may need for the rear .. most don't even need it.
Restless has the eibach camber kit for the fronts which is a great kit, as well as the Ingalls ..
which I sport on my Eibach springs, lol .. as you see (and may already know) the brands are interchangeable.
But, they're quality brands. For me, it's whatever presents itself when I'm looking.
Nonetheless, it has to be "quality" .. nothing else will do for the front ends IMHO.

Any drop will add negative camber. 1.5" with healthy shocks (NEW, matched to the springs used... not stock replacement crap) and healthy bushings and ball joints should be alright, though. You'll still get camber wear, but it will be minor. Just get good tires, rotate them, and pay attention to the inside edge. A good alignment is all you really need as long as you do all that.

However, a camber kit is never a bad idea. As said above, get a quality kit. A cheap kit is very dangerous (I know this firsthand... and I'm honestly very lucky to still be alive to tell about it, as it broke on me at 65mph in rush-hour traffic!)
