@BULL Thanks for the info! Sounds like I might skip lowering it lol. That or maybe I'll just drop the front and see how that looks.

Factory doesnt do that good at rear adjustment but something to keep in mind. Make sure the alignment folks know it's a Sport and 4WAS as well.

When looking into arms it's best that you look for something with quite a range of adjustability. A set that I got for a G37 ends up being too long when fully collapsed giving me a -1.9 of camber at most.
FYI any type of lowering will send your rear toe to Japan. Standard bolts wont work, you'll need to mix a combination of two cars to get a toe bolt setup that will work.
You'll have to remove the rear rack to wallow out the holes for the toe kits. You could get adjustable rear buckets or full coil over with a toe arm. Other than this you'll be suffering from a negative camber for you to maintain a 0 toe in the rear. The camber arms affect the toe and viceversa. Many times a nicer camber angle unbalances the toe.

In the front is ALL the same, the 4WAS actuator is in the steering column.
Is there a particular toe arm I should use? I unfortunately ended up with a 4was car.

The rear camber arms are different as well, I ran into the issue where the arm was too long and fully collapsed only gave me -1.5 camber.
The rear SPC toe bolts are too short. Longer bolts need to be bought, I found Audi A4 bolts with G37/370z shims works perfectly.

4WAS or not the V36 chassis needs arms for proper lowered angles. This is the same case with the 4WAS however it becomes a pressing matter with the 4WAS. Worse part is the stated above.
Rear spring bucket is not different in length in the RWD/4WAS coupe vs the RWD/STD coupe. The part numbers are the same. Just wanted to put that out there. Not sure about the sedan.
With the coupe at least, the way 4WAS works is, instead of the spring buckets bolted to the rear subframe, they are bolted to a horizontal shaft part of the 4WAS actuator. The motor in the actuator moves this shaft back and forth, essentially moving the mounting position of the spring buckets horizontally, and affecting the toe.
By extension, the camber arms, traction arms, upper arms, knuckle, and shock mounting positions are all the same as well between the RWD/4WAS coupe and the RWD/STD coupe.
