Rear alignment help
I'm having trouble trying to align my rear tires. They have over 3 degrees of camber and the machine says there's no real way to align the rear. It's a 90 vert with cut springs (soon to be non-cut) from racing beat and 16" wheels with 225-50-16 tires if that makes a difference. Is there any way to adjust it or am I goin to have to live with the tire wear?

Lowering the rear of the car adds negative camber to the rear and is not adjustable stock. You'll need the single rear camber bar or the individual camber adjusters to change it. I think the racing beat springs will put you back near 1-1.5 degree of camber, which shouldn't affect tire wear. It just isn't ideal.
Here's a link to the mazdatrix page listing their rear suspension components.

Ok, i had a feeling that the springs were the problem, since it looked like it might pivot due to the spring height. Holy crap these cars take more stuff to adjust anything lol. Thanks a lot, and the description on there helped a ton too. I wouldnt have thought to look there.

So my question is, it seems that racing beat and mazdatrix sell adjustable rear tie links (Stock ones have two ball joints and fixed bar). This bar seems like (if you bought an adjustible one) would changed the toe, not the camber (like they claim). It seems, at least to me that the only way would be to modify the point where the trailing arm hooks on the inside of the suspension frame (camber links). Why would that advertise these items as camber adjusters and not toe adjusters?
