I don't have lowering springs (yet) but i'll try answer this for you

the camber on the rear cannot be adjusted with the standard arms you need to get aftermarket ones, I believe the fronts are adjustable tho

if i'm wrong (most likely) i'm sure this will get some more people in here to answer your questions!

The front isn't as affected in the lowering process as much as the rears (different spring/suspension setups). As RedUn stated, you'll have to get the adjustable rear control arms to straighten the back tires out. (lowers for the camber or all 4 if you want castor adjustment, too)
