Exactly, you need a camber kit. What you are getting is negative camber from lowering the car so much. Camber kits are usually cheap. What they do is adjust the angle of your suspension since its been modified from stock.

yes you can. You need to take off the tire, then the brakes, and finally unbolt the control arm and thats where the camber kit gets installed

i believe 0-1.5 should be fine for what you have. Anything more than that is really when you have coilovers and lowering the car over 2" which i doubt you have on jsut springs. And from what i can see it looks like all you need is the rear adjustment kit. Unless you notice alot of wear on the fronts as well. But yes for the rear its just the brakets with the spacers and long bolts.
