Default Camber Bolts

I'm readying my parts to lower my car & install struts & shocks ( Tokico D-Spec)
I know after install it must be re-aligned.
I will need camber bolts to do this, but how many?
Just two? one for each side in front or are there also some in back?
The link is to the bolts.

you should be able to get away with just one for each side unless you're dropping it way down >2" then i would get both bolts for each side.

Agreed.

Mine dropped just shy of 2" with the Eibach Sportlines. I was able to use the Spec-EZ camber bolts from Specialy Products to bring it back to within specifications. You should only need those two bolts, one for each front side.

The camber is non-adjustable in the back since it's a solid rear axle, so you just need two bolts for the front. I used the same Spec-EZ bolts as nbk13nw on mine and they worked well. Just make sure you read the camber of the front before you remove the struts, so you can adjust it back to normal.

Does anyone have a link to the Spec-EZ Bolts?

How necessary are these with say just Steed springs. Is the drop enough to warrant these?

Any drop of an inch or more will offset the camber by a few degrees. You probably won't notice the difference unless you plan on going auto crossing, but it will cause abnormal tire wear.
