I had my ford puma lowerd about 6 months ago.
Obviously the tracking will be all over the place now (got wheel wobble at speed), and also drivers side rear has too much camber, and has un even tire wear to show this.
A friend says you cant adjust the rear 
Whats the situation? I went to a quick fit stlye place and they couldnt do it as they didnt have the equipment, but they said its possible and its the camber and caster needs doing.
Can someone clear it up?

You cant adjust the rear and lowering it shouldnt put camber on the rear either as its a solid beam, probably a bent stub axle so I'd get that checked out first.
The camber on the front of my fiesta was pretty erratic but i never changed it because it was a grippy lil bugger in the corners.
ps. its caster rather than castin.

The tracking won't necessarily be out just because you lowered it, wheel wobble will not be caused by your tracking being out. Thats just wheel balance. Rear camber is'nt adjustable as standard.
Just get the tracking checked on the front wheels and thats all I'd bother with.
