The cars you seen with extreme negative camber on the rear, are swing axle cars. Look under the rear of your car at your axle. If you see a rubber boot at BOTH ends of axle (by wheel and by tranny) then you have a IRS. If you only see ONE boot at the tranny only, you have a swing axle. The IRS will not give extreme camber when lowered.
