There's nothing specific about Hotchkis springs, they're like any other spring with a 1" drop. Lots of info/discussion/debate on it in the forum. In a nutshell, yeah get the camber bolts, they're inexpensive and allow you to dial in some negative camber in the front (good for handling). Dial in as much negative camber as the bolts will allow. The lowering springs will give you an ok amount of negative camber in the rear at a 1" drop - you can get by fine with just that.

FYI, factory alignment specs are notoriously 'loose' on these cars, and if you want perfect alignment specs you may need camber adjustability on front and rear. If you want to really do it right, you get a pair of SPC adjustable lower control arms for the rear (add $250-$300) so you can set your rear camber where you want it.
