For a 1-2" drop, you won't really need the camber kit. It won't hurt anything to have it, but it's not necessary. As for the end links, just get some new ones anyway, even if you can reuse your old ones. Think about this: Your sway bar does not bolt directly up to anything except the end links. You've got 11 year old end links at the newest, if you're driving a '99 Celica. Your sway bar is a LOT thicker than those end links, so they've got some stress put on them over time. They are cheap. Might as well replace them while you are in there. It's like doing a motor swap. You wouldn't buy an old engine and put it in the car without buying a new water pump, timing belt, and gaskets. It's just something that you do when you do the work. Update the parts that you can.
