Actually i've never gotten an alignment. I just recently got the car and it had eibach sportlines. I'd assume the previous owner got an alignment at some point after dropping it but i don't know. I changed them to Tanabe GF210's (less drop). I have a little play in my steering wheel (worn ball joints) and the wheel is also a bit left when i'm driving straight (not sure why) so i definitely need an alignment. I was sort of trying to find out what parts i'd need to get the specs i want before getting the alignment, so i don't have to get 2 alignments. But if i have to, so be it.

I realize there are no stock eccentric bolts for camber - i was thinking of something like this H&R "TRIPLE C" CAMBER ADJ BOLT: 12MM/-3 TO +3 DEG (PAIR)-Options Auto Salon. +-3* is quite significant and i'd expect it should be more than enough, if indeed they work well and truly give that range.
