I'm running 1.5 neg camber all around,with just the lower control arm cams doing the adjusting.
Any lower than 12.5" and I have to jack the car up to get it on my lift. :lol:
Well, there's your problem..... :shock:

With a zillion Miata's out there, you have to blaze a new trail?
Roll the fenders, drop the car, neg 2.5 - 3.0 front camber, neg 2.0 - 2.5 rear camber, zero toe front and rear.

That ought to get you out of the 25's :D

FWIW I have to jack all my cars up to get them on my lift. :D
