you might wanna get a rear camber link if you plan on dropping it a good amount. theyre not that expesive. i used to have rediculous camber in back cause i lowered my car without the link.

if you want to do some drifting with your car camber would help a lot in the front and have 0 in the rear, but it would be nice to have.

As long as you stay with-in respectable limits IE: dont lower over 1.5 inches you should be "ok" The average spring will lower your car about .75" -to- 1". Anything lower than that and you'll be scrapping and rubbing the ground.

You didn't specify what combo setup you would be using. If you are getting lowering Springs and performance Shocks, I'd have It Installed like that for a good week, as I did. After the week has elapsed, do get a 4 wheel alignment done. Doing It this way ensures that the suspension has settled - and adjustments can now be made.

Look on the Mazdatrix website www.mazdatrix.com
There are a couple of aftermarket parts to choose from. A single adjustable link replacement, as well as the 2 sublink replacements which are both adjustable. I was unable to access the site this morning for the address to the parts, but if you go to the main page you shouldn't have any problems navigating the site.
