Will you get negative camber if you go the coilover route?

coilovers are adjustable, depends how low you would want to go^, if you dont want to go more then like 1.2-.08 then no your not going to need camber anything lower i will say most likely.

If you wanna remain with in factory spec with coilovers, your drop is gonna b extremely small, similar to Tanabe springs.

I'm getting my Eibachs put on later this week. Have a couple of questions after reading all of this thread.

Is there any advantage to getting an alignment right away, then again in 2 weeks, or just get the alignment in 2 weeks?

Also, should I have my camber kit put on same time with the Eibachs, or wait til the 2 week alignment?

just wait 2 weeks for the alignment. The springs are gonna take a while to settle in, so getting an alignment right after will defeat the purpose of that.

correct, just wait 2 weeks. you can do some figure 8s in a parking lot after the install to help the springs settle but its still a good idea to give them time with the weight of the car.

as for the camber kits, im waiting til after the alignment. as long as i get my toe close to 0, i dont mind running some negative camber. toe is really what will kill your tires.
