my dad needs suspension help
my dad has a 87 rx7 n/a and wanted me to get on here and ask a question for him since he doesnt have an account.
they way he described it to me is it sounds like he has a camber problem in the rear tires, (top pointing inward). he has the stock springs, and new stock shocks. is there any adjustment or something to fix this besides a camber kit?
the suspension is not electric if that helps, i know some models came with that. im not very fimilar with 2nd gens.. more first gens for me

the stock springs are probably too saged. I bet the car is an inch lower right now then when brand new ... which is increasing the camber. FYI stock is -1 so you can see the tires tilt abit even when stock.
there is no way to adjust it without buying that camber rod.

tops pointing inward would be negative. Have an alignment shop check the camber, but Scott's right, without the adjustable rod, you can't change it. Stock springs have a tendancy to sag over time, and they are ~15 years old now.
