You should be fine. I've put 1,000 miles on my new tires since my CT drop. I JUST checked the tread this evening and they look fine to me.
Just keep your eyes on the tread-depth so you can spot uneven wear if it happens. I have a treadwear warranty on my tires (40,000miles) so I GOTTA keep my tredwear even.
If you need a camber kit, I've seen them sold as low as $63 a side (spc) or you can go to a firestone and have them do it for about $90 a side.

I ms urprised its 1.2 at both rear tires with just a Comptech drop, but not al cars react equally. Anyway at those specs, Id just make sure I did normal tire rotations. By the time the inner treads had worn down, the rest of the tire would most likely be shot anyway. In other words, with regular rotations, I dont think the life of your tire would be changed just because of the drop.

The rear camber specs are -1.0 to 0.0. I just had my alignment done after I had my H&R OE Sport springs on the car for 3 weeks. My rear camber is -0.9 (L) and -0.8 (R) so I'm bumping the minimum rear camber spec.
Since you're just below the minimum, I would just keep an eye on your tire wear and rotate the tires regularly to get maximum wear.

This is a local place in the Washington/DC area....

$63 per rear side. (up to 1.5") SPC# 67125
I thought it was a pretty good price aswell. That'll be the first thing I'd do if I notice the smallest hint of uneven treadwear.
