First of, camber is a a measurement so it can't be worn out. You can't wear out an inch, you can't wear out a degree, but you can wear out your tires.

Scroll down to "Caster, camber, alignment and other voodoo".

Get your car aligned when you put the springs on and have them check camber/caster. They're on the border where it might be advisable to buy a camber kit along with them.

Although I am sure you can find this by doing a search, since this question has been asked a few times, I'll post the info again. According to Rob at RRM, camber kits are probably not needed with a drop of 1.5" or less. But it is a good idea to get an alignment after you put the springs on and get the camber checked. If it is more than about 1 degree negative, or if it has positive camber, you might want to get the camber kit.
