I think the bigger problem with lowering the rear of an OE-triangulated-4-link P-T car and not correcting the LCA inclination is with respect to axle roll steer - I can see that going from something like 8%, maybe 10% in the vehicle understeer sense (which is too much for a car used at autocross as it is) out to somewhere beyond 20%. 0% would define this effect to have neither understeer nor oversteer consequences. Although setting axle steer to be ever so slightly loose (vehicle oversteer, negative percentages here) for autocross might help that activity, it would tend to feel 'nervous' and too demanding on either the street or out on a big track . . . so you'd probably want axle steer to be under 5% and probably closer to 3%, but not any negative value.
