very bad rear camber
i bought a set of intrax lowering springs for my 89 gxl that knocked it 1.8 inches & threw some 17 inch racing hart c2's, the result...very bad rear camber. do they make camber kits for my car? if not, is there a way to correct the camber? thanx

You need an adjustable camber rod. Lots of places sell them, try the RX-7 Store (banner at the top here) first. Be sure to get one that is adjustable without being disconnected... the other way is a pain.

The lower the car, the more rear camber. The more camber removed with an adjuster, the closer the subframe gets to the unibody. It will bang on the unibody if it's too close. You can dent the unibody and then you might not hear the subframe banging on the unibody.
When I lowered my car, my 60' time went from 1.9 to 2.2. Quarter mile time went from 12.2 to 12.4, even though I had added 20 rwhp and my speed went from 114 to 117 mph. I get wheel hop now with the lowered car.

that eibach kit is for the front. you won't get 1.5 outa it. it says 1 max but you will hit the tire on the strut after about .5 I paid $24 for mine... then threw them out after having them in for a short while. Crap.
