you need to get an alignment after the drop. my suggestion would also be to get some new struts and shocks later. you don't have to get them now, but the lowering springs might wear the stock shocks/struts, so plan that. either way, get an alignment.

I have H&R Springs with the same drop and I didn't need a camber kit. A basic alignment should correct any negative camber, toe and caster.
It's best to get shocks also, but at that time I didn't and my stock shocks lasted for about 2yrs. I just replaced them 2 weeks ago with a set of KYB GR2's. Because my drop is pretty small, KYB's seem to be the best for me.
But some just get the springs first and within a few months they need shocks. It all varys. But if you do just get the springs definitely look into shocks pretty soon. Better to have them and not need them, than to need them and not have them

Let me rephrase that.
By correcting the toe alignment. that should reduce the inner tire wear when can also be caused by negative camber
