Adding negative front camber always helps. Your existing camber bolts are good for up to neg. 1.5*

I'm not sure what teh Eibachs will do to your rears, but adjustability is good.

I take my car to Roger Krauss Racing in Castro Valley for alignments, but I hear that MPJ/GBM likes some local wheelworks, who knows.

When you get the alignment, can the shop do the camber adjustment for you...in fact how do you adjust camber?

Sorry I am pretty deficient in my knowledge of suspension...

camber adjustment is actually part of the alignment process, so yea they should be able to adjust it for you.

As far as how you set the camber, there's a couple of camber adjustment bolts on the front struts that can be used to set the camber, and (iirc, too lazy to check the service manual) the rear has a couple of camber adjustment bolts connected to the rear lateral link.
