It doesn't cancel out centrifugal force.. but it reduces the body roll towards the outside of the turn haha.

My mudflap will hit that each time and if I'm not careful it'll pop off/pop push tabs when I back out

I will be installing Eibach Pro Kit springs on my 2018 this weekend. After posting in the Eibach Pro Kit installed thread, OP said the ride was great on stock struts but mentioned he did not do an alignment. Scouring all threads drop related on the CX-5, many have commented that the camber was negative in the rear and seems to be a real issue with lowering springs.
Saw in one of the threads that Megan Racing Rear camber kit for Gen 1 might work with Gen 2.

Anyone care to confirm what they are using to adjust camber and confirm If the above link is what I will need? Would like to be proactive so I dont have to add more parts after install and alignment.
Thanks in advance

Camber shouldn't be an issue, even if it is slightly out of spec, as long as your tires have a big enough sidewall (40 or 45, or higher). This is because the sidewall will allow the tire to flex a bit, maintaining the contact patch with the ground. It's more important to make sure your toe-in/toe-out is corrected during the alignment.
That said, being proactive never hurts, but I would want to get fitment confirmation straight from the horse's mouth.

Most likely, I'm the only one, who made it's own custom modification here(or anywhere in the world), I have CS springs, so I had to do something, way before these camber arms showed up. I have grabbed some original Mazda lateral links and made them adjustable. Left and right bung nuts and adjusters(all from Ebay= ~$150) welded in, after cutting out like 2-1/4" from the pipe. It's in factory spec, with 3-1/4" drop.
Just heard from Mega Racing: "I'm sorry but we cannot confirm if this fits the awd model as we have only tested this on the 2wd models."
Anyone here live in San Jose, CA and be willing to have a test fitment? (rolleyes)
Aces72Aces, did you do the install?
I can confirm that the megan rear camber kit fits on the Gen 2. I just had mine installed this week.
So - and I'm really sorry if this is a dumb question - the alignment was required after the spring install?
