Depends where you are starting from and what you intend to do with the car.
If the front end is already dismantled due to a rebuild then fitting them
isn't a problem. If not then it isn't worth the effort unless you
absolutely want to run the car with negative camber, the only reason to do
this is to improve aggressive cornering ability. For normal road use they
are not necessary and the standard set up is fine.
