your strut mounts up front you can turn them to get some adjustment. Thats what I did. I run ZX2 and intrax with the same drop, but I need camber plates in the rear not enough adjustment.

The Mx-3 does not use a camber kit. You can use different bolts to replace the upper bolt on the strut or you can turn the strut mount 180 deg. Have the car aligned zeroing out the toe in the front and rear, you should be fine.

A good alignment shop should get it aligned within spec without the bolts.

no that is not possible by just under the car alignment. It will still have negative camber and you will still go through tires. More than likely you have to pay extra if they have to rotate the top strut mount to adjust the camber :roll:

Please just spend the $30 or so for the camber kit off of ebay. I bought the OBX one. You should recieve 4 bolts. They go in the top bolt spot that connects the strut to the spindle. I have this on both my mx-3's with intrax springs. You can install the camber bolts yourself and save yourself some cash at the alignment shop unless they will install the bolts for free...

I am glad I have an mx-3 and adjusting the camber is so easy! I've helped friends with hondas and those camber kits are so complicated!
