Default Rear camber kits?

Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with rear camber kits?
im installing coil overs this weekend (i hope) and wasn't sure if a rear camber kit was really necessary?
i dont plan to slam or go crazy with wheel camber but was wondering if after a true 4wheel alignment if it is necessary to go this route of the camber kit?
my car is a daily driver, it will NEVER be tracked. its just a cruising machine. the coils i ended up going with are ksport control pro's.

Just as a side note.. I plan on putting on fresh front tires after the install. probably go with Hankook v12's 235/35/19 up front. These will be seasonal wheels/tires so back to the stock 17's in the winter.

thoughts,opinions on this?
thanks for your time and help!

I have my E60 on coils and no camber kit. wheels look flush and no inner tire wear! wheel alignment should be good enough. i would say dont waste money on a camber kit not really necessary if your not going to slam it.

Hey Bill so you finally decided on some CO's, which one's did you go with? You don't need camber kits since you aren't tracking or slamming your ride. However make sure whoever who installs your CO's inspects the top hats to make sure they are in good condition.
