rear camber bolts?

Stock are there any camber bolts in the wrx, if not, how much camber can be added or dialed out of camber bolts?

 

Stock rear has no camber bolts. You can add bolts in the rear to add 1-2 degrees either way. Eibach makes +/-1 bolts, Ingalls +/- 2 degrees.

 

there's a really good thread on nasioc about this

 

If you want i have a set of new rear camber plates (i think its cusco)

 

I'd go for a set of Vorshlag plates, my cusco plates slipped on my STi. We have a set of the vorshlag plates on our e36. The Fairs (the owners of Vorshlag) are super nice people and are really into the grassroots scene and make excellent parts for Subarus, BMWs and Evos.

I had a nice set of whiteline adjustable lateral links that were accurate and didn't slip.

The real question is, why do you want more camber? I used my links to dial out camber to get more rotation.

 

i want to dial out camber, don't want more. I am eating through my rear tires like fat kid eats chocolate. Only way i can dial it out is bolts or plates, since i don't want to raise the car . If bolts can get me +/-2 then i'll go with that, hard to say no when they are $20 lol. Since i only need to dial out 1degree. Andy downside of using bolts?

Did the cusco plates slip under track or street driving? Most of the driving car is ever going to see is street.

 

tire wear from a few degrees of negative camber (within reason -3.5) is a myth.

toe is what you should be concerned about..."set the toe and let it go"

 

you definately have a toe issue

 

toe checked in okay last time (in dec) i had it checked. I'll go in again.

 

yeah. the rear camber bolts are prone to slipping. and IMO a waste of money. i'd recommend adjustable lateral links. you can adjust toe and camber with these, they are super beefy and wont slip. they are probly a little more than camber plates, but again won't slip. you could actually have a bent stock lateral link throwing your toe/camber off whack. sparta has a couple that are jackknifed. and i recommend the whitelines.


edit: they're actually cheaper than those camber plates meredith posted up http://www.rallysportdirect.com/shop/whiteline-wrx-sti-front-lateral-links-p-2543.html

 

How much camber can be dialed in or out of the lateral links? How about the SPC and Godspeed lateral links? They are also adujstable and price very well. The bolts are prone to slip even under street use, thread lock them bishes lol?

 

Yeah I've heard of them slipping even with thread lock on DD. I would assume the spc and godspeeds are just as good but only seen the whitelines personally. King has them on his car and its dumped stupid low (mainly because his rear coilovers are messed up) but I think he used those lateral links to align it.

 

I am going to run the Eibach rear cam bolts. Im definetly thread locking and as well going to make an extra mark in order to see if these really do slip, time will tell and hopefully ill be a lucky one.

 

did they slip when the handle and tab were installed in the correct position? about 99% of places screw this up, and this is where "camber bolts slip" gets circulated and becomes a "fact"

or is this all just hearsay? they don't work like the stock front eccentric bolts. they need to be installed in the correct position on the knuckle and installed CORRECTLY for them not to slip.

 

Don't quote me on this, but I wanna say I heard this from king

 

The laterial links had stiffer bushings. I received a handling benefit with just that change. It was very noticable.

 

that's what i read, if installed correctly camber bolts will no slip. Might have to give it a try also.

 

I was under the impression that they hold for awhile and the after hitting enough bumps they end up slowly slipping until one day you're running some kind of crazy camber.

 

this is caused by improper install
