with my R3 low enough that you can't fit 1 finger between the tire and the fender, i needed no camber kit.
However, i think my alignment settings are probably a little more aggressive than most daily driver rx8's:
front is at -2.8* camber
0 toe
rear is -2.3* camber
0 toe

I run more than that currently.
Front Camber: -3*
Rear Camber: -3.5*
Ran those for daily and drift use. Will be dialing in less camber in the front from -3* to -2.5 and the rear will be going from -3.5* to -2*
I'm on sprint springs that have settled alot(2" advertised drop that is now 2.5"), but that is fine by me. When I go stances I should be at 3" or 3.5" drop.

"s of drops mean nothing, measuring from fenders is more accurate 
I've always wondered if "camber kits" allow for more positive camber than stock allows for. Indeed, when you get to a certain point you are forced to run negative but for the most part, no "camber kit" is needed.

On the typical car without adjustable camber, yeah, it's primarily a correction kit.
On some other car's it's used for fine tuning each side's camber if the OE system isn't precise or something is impeding an equal amount of degrees.
No way to tell if the the adjustable arms allow for considerably more positive camber until someone tries it out/reports.
