j.---Changing the front springs shouldn't change the camber much, if at
all. Still, it's easier to do both the front springs and front shocks at
the same time.  Ride height can change, and a lot depends on the type of
springs you started with, what you're installing, and how the
manufacturer said the result would be.
 
Changing the rear shocks to the tube type shouldn't in itself change the
wheel camber. Replacing the trailing arm bushings  will probably change
rear wheel camber, depending on how worn the old bushings are, and the
amount of camber you are content with. Different springs almost always
changes the camber. It is better to replace all of the parts first, to
see how the camber and ride height turns out, then work on the camber
last. (Some combination of the three types of trailing arm brackets
and/or spring spacers).

 I am converting rears with conversion to kyb and same in front;is it
best to change out to uprated springs now?any concern over camber
adjustments?also changing poly bushing in trailing arms.
