If you lower the car, the rear camber will become more negative. To adjust it, you need rear camber arms.

Camber for a track car depends on your spring rate. The higher the rate, the less camber you need because the car doesnt roll as much with a stiffer spring. That said, you really need to set camber based on tire temps. If the outside is hotter than the inside, add more negative camber. Do the opposite if the inside is hot. So, you pretty much need to go to the track and find out.

Getting bigger wheels does not increase camber but it does increase our ability to see it because there is a greater distance between each side of the tire with a bigger wheel. Look at any stock civic and you should be able to see negative camber in the rear.
