Hard to say without looking at the driver's side at the same angle.

How much did you lower it? EC chassis cars have a really aggressive rear camber curve.

FYI, you could have posted it on MX-3.com's board. Since I am ProtegeSTS on there.

My guess would be it's ~ -3.5 degrees. Some camber bolts would fix that right up.

i know jesse, but you get kinda harsh sometimes and nobody else would know jack on that board. camber bolts can give you that much adjustment? anyhow i believe it is 1-1.5 inches lower than stock. i had intrax and tokicos then i swapped it out for these. i only get about 1.4-1.6 inches of height adjustment so i think thats is the most i am lowered.

This is kinda OT, but why do a lot of cars have negative camber in the rear stock?

those 2 go together

Camber bolts will get it back enough that you won't have to worry about horrible horrible tire wear. Isn't going to get it back into spec, but that's fine. Make sure you bring it to a GOOD alignment shop, not a crappy place that won't adjust it or tell you it's not adjustable.

I don't recall anyone making a set. There's not really any bad effects of camber bolts...
