OK, so the girly friends 86 mazda 626 2dr needed new tires, and I just happened to have a set of 205/85/14 laying around with 10 miles on em sitting on stock s30 rims. So, I slap em on the car, (mazda 4 lug same bolt pattern.) And they look flat out mean on that car. BUT they are a little big. Rubbing the fenders in the rear. So, me and my hammer go to work, rolling the fenders in and flaring em out some. BUT it still rubs some on hard turns and if there is more than 1 passenger. Now, this car is sitting on KYB gr2`s and has the automatic suspension that mazda loved. So my question to you guys is, how do I adjust the rear camber as its like 1.2% positive and I would like it to be negative, you know so the tires fit.

Positive camber is not cool no matter what.

Is it coil over in the rear? Sometimes there is no real adjustment abilities. You can buy kits sometimes.

there are two bars that connect to the handle on the z31, one goes to the door lock and the other goes to the latch mechanism, all you probably did was reverse them, if one of those little ends that hold the rod in place brake, just simply take the one from the door lock side and swap it onto the latch side, and i never touched the AIC as i never had a problem with the idle or the way it ran, i still think i should buy it back though, i missed it.
