wheel camber

I noticed a slight camber on my rear wheels lately..is the suspension designed this way?My trunk is empty,the suspension works very well,and the car has only 37000 km on it...the camber is approximately 1.5 degrees...(by eye of course,i may be wrong)I must say the winter tires are 205/55/15,it may change something...i dont know..

oh,sorry,when i mean camber,i always mean negative...
by the way,it's not a critical situation,I know the car has some kind of passive 4 wheel steering that probably works with the weight transfers of the car...but I was just curious top know if mazda had thought of giving the wheels a camber of some sort thats a little superior than other cars..

Doesn't a negative camber in the rear wheels cause understeer? That doesn't sound right...

I've got the 1.8L 2000 as well with the stock mags. I''ve noticed the slight negative camber as well. Perfectly normal to me, like some one mentioned, I think it adds to the protege's handling.
