your camber is way off. is your car lowered? probably.
you need a rear camber link. like $90 most rx7 stores have them.

Your stock suspension was manufactured between 12 and 18 years ago depending on your manufacture date, so your springs are sagging for sure, which is just like being lowered. FCs camber up like crazy when you drop them. (this can be a good thing, since it increases camber on the outside wheel in a hard turn)
As mentioned before, get the adjustable rear camber link. Make sure you get the one that can be adjusted while installed on the car

They sag alot. I had a TII with 200,000 miles that had the same problem. Replaced the springs/shock and it actually raised it about and inch. That's a lot considering the springs were supose to lower it an inch

I'm running 26PSI in 225/50-15 Kuhmo 711's.
Any higher pressure and you just tip-toe in the inside part of the tire footprint.

Why guess at the proper length and be stuck with your decision when you can just spend a few dollars and have something you can adjust perfectly?

Heres a question.. Is the REAR camber on our cars adjustable independantly?
Because on my drivers side REAR it's "ok" meaning acceptable amount of negitive camber... but on my passenger side it is much different. it is acctually almost to the point of Positive camber... almost sticking out the wheel well. how can this be? and that side looks like the toe angle is off slightly. (plus My passenger tire always seems to wear out slightly different than the other 3. I have checked everything.. nothing is bent or broken, but the camber is definatly different than the other side.
could if be an extreamly worn suspension? which i have... the car bounces like a basket ball when taking corners had.. also bounces when going over regular road bumps quite dangerous.
Thanks guys.. Markus
