No amount of height adjustment will affect the rate of a spring. However if you have coilovers that use 2 sets of collars (one for the spring seat and another for the ride height) the spring seat collars can be wound up so far that they compress the spring even with the car on the ground. This will make the car ride like arse and give the illusion of more spring rate and is a very bad thing to do.
Judging from the pictures of those Tanabe coilovers they don't have a full threaded body and only have one set of collars to adjust the ride height. This means that adjusting the height will alter the amount of available damper stroke in compression and droop.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing, plenty of very good race dampers are used in this configuration with no issues. It simply means you can't independently adjust how much compression and how much droop travel you have.
Any decent amount of lowering looks a little average on stock wheels in my very valuable opinion, simply because they will be sunk as hell.
The upper mounts only adjust front camber, so if you wished to adjust the rear camber you would still need some adjustable rear upper control arms.
