You CAN get more camber in the rear of these cars, you just need 4 bolts from home depot.

Remove 2 lower rear hub bolts.
Install lower bolts but leave loose.
Wedge old lower bolt between bottom of hub and axle.
Tighten the hub bolts.

Heres an example

To go more low you need springs from another car or cut/clamp/chain yours.

And im kidding with the above statement. Please dont do it. Most people can never use more than 1* rear camber on a beretta

amen to that! i was waiting for that pic to show up. i never had a better stance on my gt than with canuck springs and 18's. a 2" drop on our cars does a whole lot when you're wanting low.

Low looks great IMO, but I would prefer a ride height more suited to handling. Theres a point in which the enhancement of lower center of gravity and less body roll gets overtaken by geometry flaws of the suspension when it gets too low.

What would really be nice is if we could fit some better wheels like some 17x9's and some 245-265 tires.
