Lower your car will automatically put negative camber.
Best way is camber plates for the front and a set of the rear adjustable rods. (I think RB makes it but not technically sure.)

front all u have to do is turn the struts..like the four bolts on top..there is a plate under them that adjusts camber.
rear u need either adjustable rods or a adjustable rear sublink..dont buy a rear sublink..your local machine shop can make the stock one adjustable for like 15-20 bucks.

For the front you can't even get -1degree. You'll need camber plates. I just got my car aligned yesterday and I wanted -2 degrees camber in the front, but we could not get it to even -1 degree of camber. RETed, correct me if their is a way other than using camer plates. If not I guess i better order some.

The fronts can get almost -2 degrees of camber if you play with the slop in the suspension.  Loosen all the bolts holding the hub in place and crank the hub over to induce negative camber.  Once you have the hub cranked over, tighten all the nuts and bolts now.  You should get very close to -2; I typically see about -1.8 degrees doing this. ![Smilie](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
No, go ask Mazda about rotating the strut tops - most of their mechanics don't know this "trick".  They are going to tell you that you can't adjust camber up front either...
