rear wheel camber after lowering

Hi Guys Here is a question for the guys that have lowered there NA6 MX5's.Should there be enough adjustment to dial out the extra camber on the back wheels.Or do you just have to put up with what you get. I havent gone to radical,the guards are about 15mm above the 195x50/15 tyres. thanks kym :?

Lets talk the same language, height is measured from the wheel center to the fender guard, my car is 12" front and rear. But you shouldn't have problems getting nice street setup of -1.5 degrees. Mines maxed out and its at -3.2deg rear, front only gets -1.5 with the low caster I like. I'd like to run -2.5 all round, but waiting to afford new bushes and coilovers.

Mine is 11.25 rear and between 11.25 and 11.5 front, but I've bent the guard lips out on the front, so the lip isnt where its supposed to be.

I have massive negative camber on the rear
