that info is easily found on tein's webpage
no plates. camber bolts = front. camber shims = rear
(check my FS thread, I have a spare set of bolts avail)

they do not come preset
however, tein provides EXCELLENT instructions. be sure to set it up, exactly as the manual specifies
as far as lowering hte back more, gk5 people will naturally have that look, as oem gk rear suspension components are longer and would give that effect of being "lower"
bit of info about how to set it up = read that tein manual, like read it 2x or 3x, really get a feel for what they want you to do. I did post up pics in my thread, about how I set it up (ie, i simply followed teh manual)

The manual they provide is very nice like Evil said. Just read it a few times and get all your measurements set before starting to install them.

lookin good!
over time, you may find yourself wanting to experiment with diff ride heights. have some fun with that. I ended up, going max low (within tein's recommend of course, which I believe was -2.4 in?) to clarify, not ALL THEY WAY low, which I think is -3 in, that'd be crazy.
I also played around with damper, 2 clicks softer, 4 clicks softer, 2 clicks harder .... and long story short, I put it back to tein's recommend as I felt that it was the best for comfort, and performance (too soft degraded performanced/introduced some body roll, and I did not like that, and too hard was simply ... too hard/not comfy)
