2nd Generation Camber issues with lowering

So I am about to lower my 2nd Gen and I know that that will throw out my camber. My question is, how much is it going to throw it out, is it going to affect my handling much or give me really bad tire wear (I know I will get a little bit but is it something to worry about) and has anyone made a camber kit or know how to custom build a camber plate for the car? Please let me know because I want to get this done this week and want to make sure the car will be okay to drive when I do that. Also, if anyone has any general suggestions or problems I may run into with lowering let me know. Just so you know I am using Intrax springs (1.5 inch drop), KYB GR2 struts, and I got some new tie rod ends to put on while I was at it. Thanks
Jason

My 86 had a ecentric insert in the upper bolt hole on the steering knuckle, so non issue. I'm surprised they didnt carry that on with the newer models.

I have the intrax springs and the kyb gr2 struts too. i didn't need any camber bolts but i put two in the front anyway. the alignment flattened out perfect and i have had no problems with the lowering!
