Assuming that you have camber bolts for the front, and a camber kit for the rear, I would recommend -1.5/1.0 f/r, 0 toe all around (what i am running and it feels good without sacrificing too much wear on the inner tire). without the camber bolts/kit, only toe is adjustable.

camber really isn't important unless you plan on tracking your car or you're trying to squeeze rims into your fenders that wouldn't otherwise fit. If you're doing neither, I'd suggest running 0 camber, which is what I'm doing. No need to wear your tires unless you've got a good reason to

edit: camber bolts are still a good idea though if you're lowering even if you don't plan on going with an extreme degree. Your camber will change based on the amount you lower your car and camber bolts are needed to adjust the camber to your liking, whether its -2 or 0

the front will be on a camber plate from the coilovers, but nothing in the rear. with that being said it sounds like i cant get camber in the rear, correct?
