Most cars these days have macphearson struts for front suspension, which are easy to camber adjust. So I think the z has adjustable front toe, and the rear has adjustable toe and camber stock, and that's it. I really doubt the miata has adjustable caster stock... it would have to have a really sophisticated front double a with a lot of shims or something. Doesn't it have double a arm front? Caster is also easy to adjust for a macphearson strut.
I send a complete reaply yesterday but maybe there was some problem...
anyway, the front suspension is a double wishbone design, the rear is multi-link.. fully adjustable in toe/camber/caster.. I think is one of the better chassies on a "low cost" car.. we paid it with less horsepower, but more funny

If you want I send a PM with a link with technical informations..
