From what I've read you won't NEED one but it's recommended for the rear. They're only $160, which is less than half of 1 tire. Definitely worth the money.

The Eibach Pro-Alignment rear kit is a pair of SPC rear camber arms and toe bolts. http://www.ajusa.com/details/index/2...an%20(4%20Door)

I think the general consensus is to go rear camber kit if you're thinking about a reasonable drop and both front and rear if you're going low. There are sponsors in the marketplace that're selling both sets if you need them, prices are pretty similar, 400 for front, ~150 for rear. Just have to consider how much tire you'll save long term vs. cost to purchase/install.

I responded to some of your questions in my thread about the 350z h-techs. I don't think the rear went so low as to have a huge impact on camber and tire wear. I'm not worried about it at all. No plans for camber adjusters or anything else. The Tanabe springs though have a much larger drop. I know this because a guy that rolls in the cities here has them on his g-coupe. In his words they sit "too low". I would go with the h-techs. Minimal amount of camber effect on rear tires, they also ride very well! Just slap them on and be done with it.

I answered in the other thread but will here as well. They will last a good LONG time, especially Tein's as they are a reputable company. 15k is nothin!

I have the 350z Htechs on stock shocks and struts The ride is fine and height is satisfactory for me...

In regards to the camber kit I've heard some don't need it but I do. I have the Eibach rear camber kit (which i'm trying to install as I type) I too don't want my tires to wear too fast...they're freaking expensive!! In hindsight i would've liked to go with tanabe springs though...

Here's a pic for reference:
