If your serious about getting a good alignment, a single camber adjust bar won't do THAT much good. Yes it will help, but one tire will always be off. You might want to check out the individual camber adjusters at mmr-direct or awr racing.

How bad is your camber? What wheels/ suspension are you equipped with?

Mostly the coilover and wheel widths is what I was wondering... Sounds similar to mine, except wheel width ( im running Tein coilovers and 18x9" 285mm in the back, with 25mm spacers) I used a TC sportline single bar, and was pretty happy with the results. Of course dual adjusters will give you more flexibility in adjustment for each side ( the single bar is a bit the left so it has a more drastic effect on the left wheel) It kinda depends on what you wanna spend on equipment. Im happy with mine for now, and im assuming I had a more drastic camber degree then you might have with coils and 8x16" tires. Hope this opinion helps!

The whole "adjust without removing" feature is kiiiinda bullshit. Its not as easy as it might seem, I found it easier to disconnect the bottom bolt, adjust, test fit, adjust, then re-bolt. Which is only halfway "without removing" im sure one could do it "without removing" but it would take 6x longer, because you have about zero clearance in the area for tools, and i dont have ratcheting open-end wrenches.

Tc Sportline can be had on ebay... i just checked my paypal, I paid 79.99 plus WAY to much for shipping ($ 25) IMO a better ( as in more expensive/ non ebay) adjuster can be had... but this has worked for my purposes. I also needed it ASAP at the time, and was on a budget.

Thats a good way to live!... I dont think the ones on mazdatrix are manufactured by mazdatrix... i think.... I say whatever you can get for a good deal. Ebay is always just that.
