its really not that bad. you should be fine. a lot of sports cars come with the camber you have already. if you "need" to be in factory specs then you need a front and rear camber kit. (with toe bolts)

You def want to get that rear camber back in spec, or at least even on both sides. WIth the rear camber kit, you'll get toe bolts as well - they might not be needed at this point with such a mild drop, but could provide useful in the future. Stock bolts tend to slip and turn after awhile.

Front camber is up to you. I love being within oem specs and even on both sides (which isn't possible with a spring drop and non-adjustable front upper arms.)

After a week the springs might settle and even out the camber, but no guarantees. You'd be fine without a front camber kit and flip the tires every 5k miles. That toe front and rear really needs to be brought back into spec though.

BTW why did you get your specs and not have them change anything? stock toe bolts have some adjustment and would save you tire wear and some gas mileage

Makes sense... kinda... did they charge you as much as if they changed anything? when I dropped my sedan I got a 3 year alignment and it was the best choice I made with my car. paid for itself already.

OP, your toe is atrocious! That is what will wear your tires to shreds. Your camber specs are actually pretty decent. A little camber wont affect much. I have close to -2.0 degrees of camber in front and rear and 8 months later, have no unusual wear patterns whatsoever. Im dropped on 350z Tokico DSP9's with 350z Tein S-techs with no kit at all.
