Yes, lowering the car increases negative camber. Which will cause the rear wheels to toe out. That can cause some instability when driving especially when entering a turn. If you are like some NASCAR drivers and like a loose car then you might like it.

Obviously, with that much lowering the car isn't being setup for track events.
