Ive lowered a few cars in my time and never had a tracking problem but it never hurts to get it checked :)

Never had any problems with the camber but I would get the tracking checked.

When ever you get a car lowered it is recommended that you get a 4 wheel alignment done, this should include camber, toe and track.

The rear camber is not adjustable on Calibras, as I have found out, thus wearing out the insides of the rear tyres. You can get a camber correction kit from PowerFlex, but they are a pain to fit.

As stated above get the camber checked along with the tracking. Mine kills tyres on the inside at the moment as i have found out to my cost recently.
