I was struggling with the same questions....
Camber is not adjustable on the 2is chassis (only a little on the AWD chassis), however toe can be adjusted... depending on how far you lower.
Say YES to camber kits for front and rear, but don't go buying toe arms unless you actually need them.
Toe is adjustable on a stock suspension, camber is not.

There are two arms used to adjust camber in the 2IS Rear Suspension. This allows for full camber / wheel centering adjustability.
* Rear #1 - MRS-LX-0321
* Rear #2 - MRS-LX-0311
I recommend pairing the above parts with the rear toe arm
* Rear Toe Arm - MRS-LX-0371
Optional:
* Rear Lower Control Arm - MRS-LX-0322
* Front Camer Arm - MRS-LX-0313
* Rear #1 - MRS-LX-0321
* Rear #2 - MRS-LX-0311

^ Buying all of that and taking it to your average shop for an alignment is going to do nothing more than confuse them and make the bill go up. Unless you are trying to do something very specific with your alignment setup too much adjustability is more likely to hurt rather than help.
I have both upper arms, and toe arms on my car. In hindsight you really only need the camber arms quoted by Gville, and the toe arm is optional. Personally I am glad I have the toe arms (they make dialing the toe in much easier, and the easier you make it the more likely you are to get what you want from the alignment shop) but the 2nd upper arm was a waste of $$$$.

At the end of the day its really what OP is after. If OP wants a slight drop and to correct or add a few degrees of camber, you can certainly get away with just a camber arm and toe arm.
If OP wants to go super low, and or with an air suspension, then I would highly suggest in investing on the second arm and dialing in everything perfectly.

i got the Figs Engineering Mega LCA's for my rear It is a bit pricey tho, but worth it from what I've heard.
Apparently its the "solve-all" to camber adjustment for any 2is rear.
Mike ("Figs") is a really great guy to talk to regarding all your alignment / suspension problems or questions!

So i already purchased Megan Rear upper camber arm MRS-LX-0311 and Megan Rear toe arms MRS-LX-0371 for my 2008 IS 250. Will these two be enough to adjust the camber to -1.0 and toe to 0. Looking to increase the life of my tires.
What would the Rear upper adj no.1 arm MRS-LX-0321 do? And besides adjust ability, do these arms add more stiffness to the ride and allow better handling?
