Ive got tokico hp shox in the front and back of my car, just bought some eibach sportline lowering springs that should drop my car 1.7 in the front and 1.5 in the back. Do i need to get an alignment on my car immediately after doing this and will i need a camber kit at all?

well first things first, BIG FLASHING search button will help you here a lot...

No it's not 100% NEEDED for either camber, or alignment.

However it SHOULD be done unless you like your car shaking and or pulling to one side (without an alignment). Also unless you like paying for new tires every week or so atleast RUCAS (rear upper camber arms) should be put on.

Wth a drop like that you won't mess your allignment up too much. I would go and get one ASAP because you will likley mess up you toe which will shred your tires the way that I did. Since you are only dropping 1.5 inch or so you may be able to get away with getting some eccentric camber bolts. they are cheaper and work fine to correct a few degrees of camber, but if you got money go with the adjustable upper control arms. what ever you do make sure you correct your camber all around or your car will handle poorly.
