What does a rear camber kit do?
By adding extra negative camber you allow the tire to lean into the vehicle allowing for it fit into the wheel well tighter and thus allowing you to drop the vehicle lower. While extremely exaggerated, see the photo below for an idea of how this can work. via
Is rear camber kit necessary?
When you lower the car, the camber will go out and you need a camber kit to fix it. However, I find it is not necessary to correct the camber in most cases.

Which camber handling is best?
For a normal car you typically want to maintain a slight amount of negative camber (0.5 - 1°) to have a good balance of cornering grip, braking grip, and tire wear. On most vehicles it's common to have slightly more negative camber (0.8 - 1.3°) in the rear to reduce the chances of oversteer (loss of grip in rear). via

You don't need camber adjustment. There "should" be factory camber adjustment available on your car (typically it's the top bolt on the strut knuckle).
