Chris,
It all depends on how much you lower the rear. Ride height, camber, and toe are all interrelated. On my car the rear ride height was lowered only so far that we could still get -2 degrees with a nearly neutral toe. Same with the front. Our ride height target was to get -2 degrees camber, neutral toe, and no bump steer issues. The front could come down a lot lower than the rear. No control arms or adjustable links were needed. This is why those setup guys get the big bucks. They understand Porsche suspension geometry, limitations, and maybe even a little voodoo. YMMV.
