Should i just get new b8 struts/shocks and reuse my stock springs? Or just buy the whole kit new? Its cheap enough.

Should i get the dinan camber plates. Even if i plan on getting m3 front arms? Will it add too much camber and create bad tire wear? Also i see the sell upgraded shocks mounts for the rear in poly from dinan. Are they recommended?
I highly recommend the B12 Pro-kit (and M3 control arms), this set-up made major improvements in steering feel, turn-in and overall handling. I've also read that the Eibach springs in this kit have a stock-like rate but am not convinced as they feel nothing like the ZSP springs. As already stated, the shocks are B8's (sports) and the drop will be around 0.5 to 0.75" compared to sports suspension.
