anything else i need to order?

i did a aliment on my car the other day and adjusted the toe on all 4 tires, the camber in the rear is way of at -2.2 (left side) and -2.5 (right side). i am ordering the Rear Camber Adjuster from mazdatrix.com (the one u can adjust it with it on the car) do i need to get anything else? will it bolt right up? and anyone know how difficult it is to install it?

thanks

Let me guess - unlisted mod 1.5" drop.
It looks like you got the right stuff.
The guys at Mazdatrix know what's needed.

It sounds like you're stuck with a pretty good ride.

By the way what tire pressure are you running?
I find that running 26PSI in low profile negative cambered tires gives a full footprint and really improves handling.

If you want some really neat pieces and want to independently adjust the camber of each wheel, buy these




It can be found here

http://www.mazdatrix.com/h6_86-92.htm

Otherwise, the camber of both your rear wheels will always be different

surshot what tires size do you run? Do you still have the stock 15" rims? I am running stock GXL 15"x6" rims.. I also have 225-50-15 on all four corners. I run at 30 PSI now, should i bump it down a little?

Our cars are actually low for a stock car, but I don't think it's low enough. LOL I want to get coilovers from Tein or JIC so I can drop my car even more than what it is now and it's pretty low now. Tires tucked in the front.

I would suggest getting 205/60/15, 205/55/15, or even 205/50/15 on all four corners. Sure the 225's leaves a bigger footprint, but since the tire bulges out, it rolls over more. With a 205/60/15, the tire doesn't bulge as much, so it'll respond better. On the other hand, if you drag race, then the 225's would prove to be useful. Drag racing only requires traction to go forward and no side G's, which is why the sidewalls of drag slicks aren't stiff.

Sorry I missed you question last week.

You should be good at 30-32.

My lowered pressure is strictly to compenaste for my 1" drop & the extra spring stiffness.
I do run 2PSI more in the front than the back.
