Question i need help with a camber adjustment!!!

On christmas i received a set of tein spec lowering springs and had them installed at a performance shop. Well its been almost three weeks and the car defenetly looks a lot lower than factory but the back wheels are sticking out more on the bottom than the top making the car look like i cut the factory springs for the ghetto drop look. Please i need to know how to fix this problem !!!!

Take it to an good alignment shop. Expect to pay anywhere from $40 to $90 for a four wheel alignment.

maybe thius reply is a little to late, but i just drop my car 2'' and it were seriouslly out of speck the camber was incrfedible out of spec to ( the car looked like a duck). Just in case some people dont know the 8 is one of the only cars with camber adjusment included, we took the 8 a mazda dealer, it was 63 bucks for everything, toe in , camber, aligment, everything, and the thing is that they have the original mazda specs,(some shops tell u theyu can do it, but they do a horrible job), i would heavilly recomend to do it with a mazda dealer. and its not that xpemsive, on top of that having the camber not adjusted is going to eat ur tires incredible bad in the inside, my civic used to eat tires like crazy, ofcourse that was a 3'' or more drop,

hope it helps and its not to late

The range of the factory specs is pretty large and it would be pretty easy to have a horribly misaligned car still be within "factory spec." No matter how specific you want an alignment, you're largely at the mercy of the skill and pride of the person doing the work whether it's at a dealer or independent shop.
