FC camber kit help

I have a 1989 RX7 vert and I'm trying to find a camber kit for my car. I have bad camber wear on my tires (inner wear). I found a camber rod on mazdatrix but I'm not sure if that will give me an even wear like not exactly at 0 but close to that. I just don't want to go through many tires. My car is lowered by the way. Here is the link of what I've seen 86-92 Suspension Parts
I was also deciding if the individual camber links would be better. Only problem is if I get both they'll cost me double from the camber rod (R-CAMBER). I'm not looking to spend over $150.

Its probably more likely your rear toe that's off. Contrary to popular belief camber doesn't wear tires that badly and you definitely want some negative camber or you'll wear your tires on the outside because the car rolls when you turn...

The center link will work fine as long as you have stock subframe bushings.

Yea I have some 18" STR 606 wheels and my car is lowered on TopSpeed Coilovers and the wheels got some camber after I lowered the car.

did you ever align it after you lowered it.... if not the wear is definitely caused by toe..

If you still need a camber bar, I carry some very nice bars for $100+shipping through my website www.j-auto.net

you also have to make sure all the other bushings on the car are still ok. When I first got my car I never inspected the bushings. The factory bar that the camber adjustment replaces was shot on both ends. I didn't know until I replaced that arm. My sway bar end links were all shot too
