changing height will also effect toe which is more important than camber...just set it, allign it, and leave it unless you like doing alot of allignments

i decided i'm going to get a lifetime allignment deal for like 100 bucks so i can bring it in all the time.. i also figure that the washers wont work for the rear so am i going to need a reer camber kit also becuase i dont think that they will want to keep putting washers in and taking them out seasonally

you can still use the washer trick..just set camber at home and bring it to an allignment shop...you can measure the camber sort of roughly using those bubble meters (the metal stick..and there's a glass tube in the middle with a bubble that will move up and down depending on angle)...it won't be dead on but accurate enough not to cause any problems...this is only true assuming you're aiming for zero degrees camber

They won't adjust camber anyways since it's non-adjustable from the factory unless you pay more each time you get it aligned.
