there are other companies that sell camber correction solutions. Look through some of the vendor sites.

IIRC, the MS springs/CCK is more than Cobb springs + aftermarket CCK.

the Cobb springs only lower the car 1 in if that in the rear so you should be OK without the rear camber kit. I have the Cobb springs/sways and love them. Not to aggressive but a very nice ride.

I just paid $350 for the MazdaSpeed Sport Spring kit (springs + rear camber links) for the MazdaSpeed3 online at Med Center Mazda (sold as an on-line sale), installed by them at extra cost (labor was $400 + alignment @ $58.95) Having them install it and align the wheels was well worth it to me with only jack stands (and no helper) at my disposal. Although I was quoted a ship-to-me price of $390 for the kit if I wanted to install it myself.

After Cobb springs...not sure how long after I had installed them, so I think they were pretty much settled at this point.

This question was asked on Cobb's forum. Cobb went back and checked the alignment on the rear end and stated that it is well within factory specs with their springs installed.
