WOW! The mazdatrix link really jumped up in price! Not sure how soon you need one, but Secret Element is bringing our piece back to the market, with a re-introductary price, we have had a number of inquries recently. Anyways we are looking to have them available very shortly. Email me at seeltuned@aol.com with any questions.

Anyways the best setup would be to utilize both the single camber Sublink, and the two smaller links this will give you the greatest adjustabilty.

I think I'm going to do the sublink first then the smaller to over time.

I see you're located in Pittsburgh, you ever go up to beaver run?

yea it would make sense to use the single link to go from (in my case, both rears are the same) -2.6* back up to like -1*, and use the single adjusters to fine tune and make them the same.

i always forget PBM makes FC stuff, i'll probably get those ones since PBM is more gangster than mazdatrix. lol

Yeah the single one gives you enough adjustability imo. I set mine to near 0 camber and I didn't like it so I dialed some more back in.

I am running the Secret Element adjustable rod.

The independant ones are the next on my list. I got mad negative camber in the rear and I tell you, it makes it so uncontrolable and I spin like a mad man!!! Could be the driver needs an adjustment too.

Sweet, I definitely will after the holidays. I'm getting CS headers, a high flo cat, sway bars, the camber adjuster and maybe strut bars for next season.

How's your FC?

Don't waste your money on swaybars if you are drifting the car. The front interferes with steering angle mods and most people remove the rear. If you are on coilovers I say remove the front and keep the stock rear for now.

Thanks for the advice, it's my everyday car so I might just leave the stock ones on. What are your thoughts on strut bars?

I didn't notice much of a difference playing with strut bars but a front bar will make the car more understeer prone and a rear bar will make it understeer prone. I would just get a lower arm bar, they make the car feel a lot more neutral instead of understeer happy.

the lowdown-
the camber adjuster you use depends on the bushings in your subframe and trailing arms, and each have their ups and downs.
center bar:
good- cheap
bad- uneven adjustment, changes pinion angle, limited range with solid subframe bushings

undividuals:
good- adjusts each wheel individually (duh)
bad- expensive, cant be used with poly control arm bushings. you either need stock or bearings

best: use both
set your pinion angle with the center bar, and use the indivs to set camber
if you have a combination of stock and solid bushings... good luck lol
