Sup fellas. I'm a bit of a noobie when it comes to WRX parts and where to find them. Can you guys kindly point me to a good online shop that sells a rear camber kit for a 06 WRX TR. And I've done a search and for some reason cant find any. Thanks!

There are 3 different ways to adjust camber on the rear of a WRX/STI. First is at the strut. Since it has a rear Mcphersen strut, you can use oblonged camber bolts on the top hole of the strut. I believe whiteline makes them. You can adjust the back a little in stock form from about zero to negative 1.

Next way really works best with coilovers which is a cusco rear upper camber plate. This allows several degrees of adjustment, but it difficult to fit with a standard spring setup.

Last way is adjustable lateral links. Some brands include whiteline (have to get the complete set which is hard to find), cusco, agency power, and perrin. You need all 4 arms. The whiteline kit is most commonly sold as the two rear arms, but is available as a set of 4. Tis allows for quite a bit of adjustment in either direction

Look at the vendors on this site as most of them can get you these items

Charlesj is right. I actually have two of the three. The cheapest way to go is the camberbolt. I think those run about $40. More or less. The rear camber plates will run you about $200ish. The down side to rear camber plates is that it'll replace the rubber tophat therefore making a stiffer ride. That may or may not be what you are looking for. Coilovers are coilovers. Last is the rear adjustable lateral links. I've look around and the Whiteline rear lateral links are the cheapest on the list that Charles posted. Those run about $350ish. You are looking for part number KTA109. Remember that is all four arms. Hope that helps. There is a member in NorCal that is selling rear lateral links if you are interested.
