Unhappy Tyre wear and camber

Every body got to be afraid of this happening when they have lowered thier FC.

Looks like i have to got some new tires.
and that means
I have a chance now to getting SSR Integral 17" Mags and some Z or higher rated tyres. of rthe new mags.
Looks like i have to get a camber link.

www.mazdatrix.com here i come but which 1 should i get the 1 with or with out the lock nuts?

The 1 is really bad and has already split.
The tyres are Bridestone Potenzas RE730 and have given me excellent handling and wear under very heavy driving.

My front have wore on the outsides.

it seems as if my car wants to wheelie with funny weight distridbution.

the car was given to me in working order and i don't know how much it was lowered.

take a pic further back so we can see the tire angle. looks like you need a rear camber link.

Outside of North America, they're known as tyres.

Then I pity those poor souls.
Pomo, eh? Haven't seen you around here before. We should go for a cruise sometime, you're super close to me.

Haha, I'm not suprised. Until today, it hasn't moved for almost four weeks. Now it's out bathing in the rain. Don't you just love spring cleaning? At least I'll be able to walk around my car once it's back in the garage.

There was another second gen close to my place, a grey GXL I think. I use to see it parked in a driveway a few blocks away, but I haven't seen it for a while so they might have sold it.

And just so mr_vaughn doesn't feel left out, I too have a slight camber problem but it's probably due to old springs.

Nice looking car [bnd]. Reminds me of my 88NA. Miss that thing...
As for Mr_Vaughn, I agree with Scott. At least roast off the tyres [sic] before you get new ones. Some nice donuts after soaking the tires overnight in bleach....
