Lowering bolts should be around 10" long (give or take). If they do not have a hole cross drilled in the last 1/4" or so I recommend that you do this & use a cotter pin. Altho some of the kits provide a nylock nut, these can work loose ... not a pretty sight if you happen to be in triple digits.
Assuming everything went OK with the install the rear end should settle down after driving a couple of miles. It would be wise to get the car aligned at that time, unless you intend to lower the front in the near future.
Lowering the front will keep the proper "rake" of the car and greatly improve track handling ... but the job is a bit more involved than lowering the back. I lowered the back (both sides) in less than an hour ... the front took me most of 2 days.
Hope this helps.
