There is no camber adjustment for the rear.

Default what is the question?
lowering past 1.25" puts the rear geometry out of spec. but the front apparently allows for a wider range of adjustment... *i guess*

Default Both need to be adjusted after lowering, but there is no built-in "adjuster" on the rear.
The fronts can easily be adjusted enough to correct for normal drops.

Default It's because the rear suspension travels almost a degree of camber per inch drop...
but the front only half a degree. The rear starts out quite negative - at least -2.7 on my car and after an 1.5 inch drop, you can imagine how big that is negative camberwise. The front was less agressive and reinstalling the top plate 180 degrees placed back my camber to -1 degree.
