well, you can look at my pics for visuals. My front is lowered quite a bit and had little camber issues, not enough to need a camber kit. My rear isn't lowered as far as the front because I like the look and it's "better" for performance. So, the rear has little camber issues as well.

If you are fearfull about camber issues, get camber kits for the front and back. You can jimmy-rig a "camber kit" for the rear with washers and longer bolts if you don't want to spend the money for a real kit.
