Default Front Camber

I'm currently autocrossing my stock Accord, and won't be able to modify the suspension until next summer. By then, I will have attended 2 Offensive Driving Sessions, and 8+ Autocrosses.

Right now, my front wheels are practically at zero camber, and the tire wear just barely hits the edge of the sidewall. I've already used the white chalk to confirm this, and I've tried tire pressures ranging from 39PSI to 46PSI with no change in the sidewall wear.

Next Summer I plan on getting

Neuspeed-Koni Sport Shocks
H&R Sport springs (1.5"F/1.2"R)
Comptech sways (23mm solid rear/27mm front)
Acura TL-S upper strut bar
*Maybe* Neuspeed lower front tie bar
*Maybe* Skunk2 rear tie bar

I hope to do an auto-x between each of these mods so I can get a feel for what difference each of them make.

Anyways, after the lowering, I'm guessing the rear camber will be close to -1.3, and the front will be close to -0.5 (1.7"F/1.2"F due to front perch adjustment). Do you think -0.5 will be enough to keep my front tires firmly planting on the ground during cornering? Should I invest in a front camber kit to increase front camber to around -1.0 or more?

Again, I will probably be able to answer this question a year from now, but until then, I would like to know, or possibly put a front camber kit on now if I need it...

BTW, I'm looking for the best quality front camber kit (If I actually need to increase negative camber):
