-2 is hardly much at all - with the Starion rear suspension it doesn't actually increase the negative camber by a huge amount compared to other IRS designs of the same era, ie the Toyota flappy trailing arm setup of the 80s, which when lowered 50-60mm will give you like -5deg of camber.
Many production vehicles of today have almost -2deg of camber in the rear from the factory - my stock height E39A Galant VR-4 sits at about -1.5deg on the rear. To me I think sports cars kind of look whack without at least a little bit of negative camber both front and rear. Negative camber will actually aid with traction in the corners as the body rolls.

i wasnt, when you lower one, they get a lot of rear camber! the lower you go, the more taily they get, unless you can reduce the rear camber.
The group A car i work on, has adjustable lower arms, it has less than 2 degrees camber even though it's on slicks! it makes a big difference to these cars..
