SO I have read that others have used Camira springs to lower the rear by 4" or so. I was just wondering weather they were Camira Lowered springs or standard?, any particular model Camira? and what springs are used for the front to achieve the same result?

Cheers in advance

If you want to lower by 4 inches, might aswell just take the springs out run on bump stops.
Can fit a coil over type platform to the rear and use a generic 2.5 inch ID spring.
The front only has about 6 inches total travel and
If you use shorter length springs in rear, you will need to shorten rear shocks to stops the springs falling out at full extension.

Personally, I've always used the Commo IRS rear springs - not quite as low as the Camira ones, but still very low....

4 inch drop at the rear would give you bugger all suspension travel, inch or two at most.
