The rear control arms do not lower (or raise) the car. They allow you to adjust rear camber, which is not adjustable on early cars and only slightly adjustable on later ones. The stiffer mounting bushings and slightly lighter weight improve handling also to degree, but camber adjustability is the big benefit.

Installation is pretty straightforward, but getting to the mounting point nearest the center of the car takes the right combination of wrenches and sockets due to limited access.

Well...if you want to get uber picky technical. Whenever you go negative camber...the car will squat just a hair lower.

Hmmm, are you thinking that the inner sidewall of the rear tires will deform more with greater negative camber? Because if it didn't I'd think it would actually raise the car slightly.

I suppose when it gets cold outside the car rides lower too.
