yeah the guy at the tire shop said and i mean i looked too and its bad, he said there was enough negative camber to provoke abnormal tire wear on my rear tires.[/b]

hmmmm... Well your suspension is stock, so take it to mazda, if its really that bad they should be the ones to have to fix it.

So what about me. My warranty expired but I got the green boxes checked before then? Unless suspension is part of the power train then I'm good for one more year.

Let me clarify. My last 2-3 oil changes mazda both dealers I've gone to checked the green boxes for my tires as excellnt (Green). But half the rear tires are bald. This was before warranty was up. Now I only have one year for the power train. What to do.

Well its gonna be 500 dollars for adjustable camber rods to fix the camber and labor and a 4 wheel alignment and my guy at the store said he would lower 2 inches for another 150. so 650 to do all the suspension on my car. i might have to save up

Mazdaspeed camber links are NOT adjustable either... they were specifically made to fix the negative camber created by the mazdaspeed springs (Aka. Pro-kit). The Eibach adjustable camber links however do exactly what they are called... give you the ability to adjust camber a bit.
