You should actually be within tolerance for both the front and rear. The rear calls for -1 to 0 camber, and the front calls for -1 to +1 camber. Just check if it's with spec and you should be fine. When I dropped mine with the Prokit I was within spec: -.08 in the front, and -.76 in the rear. I did get a rear camber kit. I didn't like how the rear end pancaked. (Personal pref.)

most people day you wont need a camber kit if the drop is not lower then 2 inches. so yes you'll be fine...
but why the prokit? i personally dont think its worth it to spend 200-300 and not notice my car is dropped... i have neuspeed sports, about 1.7f and 1.5b(still have 1 inch fender gap in the front and 2 inch gap in the back). even with these you could barely tell my car is dropped... it would be fine if i had a kit but i dont so i wish i would have gone with neuspeed race(2.25f and 2.0b).
with my neuspeed sport, i've been able to drive almost like how i do driving stock and i drive pretty crazy... i have only scraped once with them. so ya maybe you might want to look into eibach sportlines, neuspeed sports or neuspeed race. 200-300 is alot of money and you dont want to regret it later on. everyone on this board said go with a 1.5-1.7inch drop so i did... wish i had looked into other options before i shelled out that much money... if i could chaneg my springs for free i would go with neuspeed race... it is low enough to tell your car is dropped yet high enough so that you wont NEED a camber kit or new struts for awhile.

Also, it depends on how much you drive, road conditions, etc. I chose the prokit because I average 100 miles a day with my car, and didn't want to sacrifice confort, or dish out 700 bones for shocks. Here are some before and afters:
It may have a two-finger wheel gap, but it's much better than the 4x4 lifted look, plus cops around here done give me a second look.

well id like the prokit cause i will be gettin the kaminari kit with it and i don't want my nice pretty kit to have scrapes and scratches all over it, some of the roads are kinda bad i think there are alot of speed bumps and my driveway is kinda elevated.

i would do that but i dont want to pay for installation again... i'll probably sell them, and get full coilovers, when my shocks blow but i just got them so it might be awhile....
