    i just put tien flex on my wrx and i was wondering if all i need to do is get the car aligned or if i need a new caster camber kit to make the degrees of the tires lay flat on the pavement? any advice

    I might be mistaken, however, I dont think teins pillowball mounts can adjust caster. Just camber.

    Castor is really only important if you are professional drifter and you need lots of turn in. The camber and toe will be the only things you need aligned. Eventually, you may want to have your car corner weighted in order to adjust ride height on each wheel. If your corner weight is off drastically on one tire, it may cause excessive wear to that tire. I would just stick with the camber and toe for now and just monitor the tires. I don't know if there is a thread about good alignments for different applications, but I am sure we can figure it out depending on what you will be using them for.
