To go low, you will need either air suspension or coilovers.

To get your wheel/tire alignment within reason (so your car goes straight when the steering wheel is at 0), you will need camber, toe, and if possible caster adjustment as well. This is where products like an adjustable lower control arm and offset bushings come into play.

If you cannot understand the difference between coilovers and LCAs, you shouldn't be futzing around with your suspension at all. Read and learn first.

That's an issue of if you're looking to have adjustability in the front of the vehicle (camber plates, camber bolts, full-on-race-ready-LCA) or in the rear of the vehicle (LCA, camber bushings).

LCA's control the rear camber/toe depending on the one you get.

You do need them together with coilovers unless you do not go low. Otherwise, you will have crazy negative camber in the rear (-2.5 and higher). I had almost -3 camber in the rear after lowering with stock arms.

Unfortunately you still don't understand enough to know what the answer was:

Camber is modified by:

camber plates (upper mounts w/ front coilovers)
eccentric bolts ("crash bolts")
front LCA (rare but possible)
rear LCA
rear adjustable arms
lowering the car
etc

You can pick your poison. But if these are still unclear to you, you need to figure out what you want to do because "I like slammed look but I'm not willing to go that low I would like to get out of my driveway without planks" is about as vague as "I want eggs for breakfast but I don't like yolk but I'm okay with sunny side up"

We need context, such as:
your driveway entrance (how steep it may be)
what is "slammed" to you?
what is your definition of "slammed" vs "not willing to go that low"
etc

Fill in the blanks, please, because there's so many of them.

Ok so to clear things up to me slammed is on the floor but I want to go as low as possible without scraping everything it would be nice to make it over a speed bump

And my driveway is not steep at all but I see slammed cars with problems pulling into a parking lot with a .5 inch bump

Sorry for my dumb questions

To adjust front camber you'll need crash/camber bolts or adjustable camber plates. To adjust rear camber you'll need adjustable UCA bushings, adjustable upper control arms (UCA) or adjustable lower control arms (LCA).

Thanks for the clarification I really only n want rear camber with minimal front camber

Why do you want rear camber? Are you needing it for clearance with your wheels? Unless you need clearance, or are adjusting camber for grip (with testing hopefully) you should stick close to stock specs.
