Camber adjustment bolts are $23 - $36, where are you getting $250?

Like I said, this issue won't stop me from buying one of the twins, but it doesn't fill me with respect for the design.
Every design is a compromise. I don't resent struts and lack of camber adjustability on this car any more than I did on my old 240Z. I have tons of respect for both designs. I do think that given lack of camber adjustment that they should have aimed for -0.5 to -1 from the factory instead of zero, but whatevs...

For the street I wouldn't worry about it at all. Since I'll be tracking the car, I'll be lowering it on stiffer springs and getting camber bolts for the front. That should give better than -2° up front. Far from ideal but a lot better than zero, and probably as much as you can get on a stock Miata.
