Excessive camber on the rear wheels is usually a negative thing overall for handling. It is possible to lower an RA65/MA61 without suffering from excessive camber though - in a nutshell, you have to raise the rear subframe to compensate for the altered position of the wheels.

If you think about it, if you lower your car 3" the wheels are 3" higher (relative to the body). So if you move the subframe 3" higher, the suspension geometry will be exactly the same as it originally was! Hey presto, no more camber problems.

You can get an easy inch or so by removing the four big rubber bushes that insulate the subframe from the body, but beyond that you have to modify the subframe itself.
