It's okay.  After all, the Miata has been with us for
a long time; how many new topics can we generate? :)

I run -1.0 camber at both ends.  So far, I haven't
noticed any ill effects on tire wear, but if you're
still running a stock front bar this may be more front
camber than you need (I run a 24mm front bar with the
stock rear).  I also run less front toe-out than below
(0.02") and a tad less caster.
