With out a KMAC kit you can't change anything on the Gen II cars..the early cars have some Minimal (I think tow) adjustment.

If you have lowered the car and camber is out of control, plan on a rebuilding all the rear rubber bits.  and possibly getting the KMAC kit as well..  Or, change your spring pads to get the rear end up a bit more...  You don't want the SLS supporting the rear w/o any aid from the springs.

Yes, you can do 4 wheel alignment, but I think there's a setting (can't remember which) that isn't adjustable on the rear.  There is a camber kit I think from KMAC that can be used.
 
The SLS can be flushed quite easily.  Disconnect the line going into the top of the reservoir at the cap, stick it into an empty jug.  Unscrew the little filler cap.  Have someone start the car and watch the fluid flow into the empty jug while you slowly refill the reservoir to keep it from running dry.  You'll need a few bottles/quarts to get it all done.  There is a dipstick when you pull the cap that tells you what the level should be.

the reason i'm asking is because i've notice on my rear wheels, the inside wears out faster on all 4 wheels.  i do need accumulators or ram shocks...haven't had it diagnosed.
 
the accumulator fluid resevoir, how much fluid should be in there and do you bleed it like brakes?
