Camber Help!!!

Camber Help!!!
Ok my car has horrible negative rear camber. Especially the right rear, i mean you can just look at it and see it. So, I knew my car had lowering springs. So i thought maybe if i went back to stock hieght with stock t2 springs it would help it. Well, it did...some. I still have it at a negative reading. What should I do? I read about "camber links" that you can buy that can be adjusted to set it correct. Just wanted to know if anyone has actually done this. Anyway, just give me some pointers, or has anyone had this problem? Any help will be greatly apreciated. Tires are getting expensive

it should be around -1 stock. which you can notice by eye. you can buy camber links from www.k2rd.com www.racingbeat.com www.mazdatrix.com and lots of rx7 places . from $70-100. it alows you to change the rear camber.

I put new Eibach and Tokico shocks on a year ago. The Eibach's were to lower the car. Had wayyyy toooo much negative camber on the rear. Bought a camber adjuster from MAZDATRIX. Part 04-7421-0000. It worked just fine. Easy install. Found a flat parking lot and used a carpenters level to get it squared away. Then to the alignment shop. MAZDATRIX now offers r/h and l/h adjusters, something they did not have a year ago. Seems they'd be even better.
Make sure you don't have dead rear shocks that might have contributed to your camber problem.

yeah, also remember, the design of the rear suspension means it's just about impossible to get equal camber on both sides.. Mines -1 on the drivers, -1.3 on the passenger side.

also i'm all new to this part of the car so could someone post a pic of where the camber links are in the suspension.
Oh, and I checked out the Mazdatrix stuff, and there is a few things; they have the camber adjuster like you said, and they also have adjustable (On the car) rear camber links. They sell them individually for the rear right and rear left. It says it will take out as much as the negative camber as is "mechanically possible".
again pics of the camber link on the car would help a lot.
thanks again guys
