From the factory the car has negative camber; about 1.3 give or take a little. Depends on how you intend to drive the car. Safe and sane driving about town and more concerned with tire longevity I would use the eccentric bolts right away and bring the bottom of the tire inward:Buy a touring or all-season type tire with high mileage ratings and enjoy the ride.

Bad ball joints certainly will effect tire wear, but you can feel it in the steering and when you have the car jacked up you can feel the wheel move when you twist it and push/pull by hand. You can also check for wheel bearing play and it is easy to tighten them up if need be. Be sure to replace the steering stabilizer. It is the shock absorber looking thing in the steering linkage. If you do all this suspension work, you will need some specialized tools; They may be borrowed from your local auto parts store. I doubt you will get all that you mention completed with just a set of sockets.

If on the other hand you want to pull high g corners and flirt with danger you need to keep the OEM bolts in there and see what you get after the suspension work you are doing and an alignment. You will get a read out (ask for it before they begin) of the suspension parameters and compare it to specs ( the specs are in the service manual). Keeping camber up around 1.9 to 2.3 negative gives advantage in cornering, but wears tires much quicker. Toe can be at 0, tires pointed straight ahead when wheel is centered. That makes you work a bit more when cruising down the road as the car won't steer itself, but helps a bit with responsiveness and run on Max summer or the 200 tread wear tires. This past summer I got 4,200 miles on my front tires and they were slick when I got home after attending two Crossfire meets. I absolutely had to slow down coming home from Eureka Springs in the rain as the car would hydroplane easily.

As with most things in life you have to make decisions with some give here and take there; There isn't a one tire, one suspension set up that will do everything well. It is all compromise.
