They're pretty much just like the Mopar crash bolts and Eibach camber bolts... they'll work but you might look at getting the Mopar first since they might be of better quality.
4762135 - Front - $25.00
4773957 - Rear - $18.70
Each part number should get you two bolts. If you still can't get your desired camber you will need to slot the bottom hole in your struts to be able to adjust them more. Or buy another set of bolts to use one bolt on the top and one on the bottom.

I was wondering if I'm going to have to correct the camber on my car after installing the Mopar Performance Lowering Springs?

yea, you'll probably need to get an alignment to correct it dood.
OBX bolts from Ebay?

If you're talking about the OBX crash bolts available on Ebay just make sure they send you a different (smaller) bolt set for the rear.
I bought these, and they sent me 2 of the same packages. Considering the rear bolts are smaller diameter, obviously they won't fit. The seller said he'd sold plenty of kits and never heard any problems, so I assume everyone that's buying them is just eating the wasted $10 for the rears as they don't fit. So somewhere I have 2 sets of OBX front bolts sitting around.
Anyway all these bolts are are M12 bolts with a little cam on the unthreaded section, and an M14 head on them. You really shouldn't use just 1 bolt on each front with the other oem bolt as the oem bolts have splines on them. The point of cam'd camber bolts is to pivot on the other regular bolt, which you really shouldn't be doing with a splined bolt, so technically you need a pair of camber bolts for each front, or at least grind the splines off the stock bolts so the strut/knuckle can pivot properly and use 1 modified oem bolt, and 1 camber bolt per strut.
Long story short I ended up going to lowes and getting slightly smaller diameter that stock Grade8 bolts and replacing all 8 bolts on the car with them. Alignment tech just loosens all 4 bolts, pulls the top of the tire in/out to get the numbers I want and tightens them back up. btw: Firestone sells lifetime alignments for $150. You can get the car re-aligned anytime you want for life.
