Best camber adjust in the rear?
Well i just put silk road coil overs on my 89 TII and Now Im looking to fix the ugly massive negative camber in the rear. It's better for drifting, & tire waer anyways. But any ways, I've seen a few different product and I was wondering whose used what and how much and how hard it is to install and which is the best? I've seen kits on e-bay that say they are fully adjustable pieces but it's not the real picture of the real product. I've also see mazda trix's stuff. I just wanna know who makes that best ones.

I think they're all similar outcome.
This is a good one from MazdaTrix
I have one from rotaryxecret. not as good as that because of that special nut.
but it all works. Set it and forget it.
That won't help you 100% for anything more than 2" drop I think.

knowledge junkie
These allow more adjustment I believe if 0.7degrees is not enough correction with Racing Beat's camber adjuster, and you don't want to dimple the floorpan to get more correction (dimpling the floorpan gives the control links / subframe end links more room to move).

the mazdatrix ones are specially made to include grease fittings for street applications, so they do not rust/sieze up when left on the car for long periods of time(ie more than one race season-or one east coast winter)

The single adjuster didn't make much/enough difference.
So I bought the individual ones and they definitely work!
They installed in less than 1 hour and the adjustment took about the same.
They come with instructions that are easy to follow.
To adjust after install:
Jack up the rear of the car.
Loosen the top nut.
Add grease if necessary.
Tighten or loosen via the hex-wrench bolt.
Tighten the top nut.
Lower the car.
Roll it back and forth a couple times.
Check camber.
Repeat as necessary.
I highly recommend footing up the extra cash. They're much more effective!
I don't want anyone else wasting their money on the single adjuster like I did.
Any questions, pm me.
EDIT:
btw. I'm not affiliated with mazdatrix in any way, I just really liked how effective these adjusters are.

The Cause of Death
Thanks for the info, but my car is already dropped with aftermarket suspension, and when I aligned it I realized it was a bit out of spec, but by around ~1.0 degree, if that. Figured if I could get a bit more neg. camber it would be beneficial. I'm not too concerned with tire wear, I'm running R-compound tires as it is, which wear pretty quickly.
Thanks, and sorry to hijack.

I think if you lower the car more than 2", the rear camber adjuster is not enough.
Those are like almost $100 a pop by the way.

I still needed the individual adjusters.
I went through a set of rear tires per year until I got them.
