Adjusting Factory Camber Bolts [nevermind]

I dropped my '04 wrx a little and I completely forgot about the front camber bolts. As of now, they're in a random position. What I'm wondering is which way do I set it for negative/positive camber? If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

If you want to decrease understeer you should go for more negative camber than factory spec's in front and go for less in the rear. Here is a link that lists the factory camber specs for a 02-03 WRX if you want it back to factory spec's (not sure if 04 is the same)http://www.oakos.com/wrx/specs.htm. How much did you drop it? When you drop a car it will increase negative camber but it wont always be even so you should have the car put on an alignment rack and do a 4 wheel alignment.

Just so you know, 1"=25.4mm so the rear would actually drop around .8". That is a nice drop and I would think the wheel gap difference is pretty even now.

if the struts are still in new-ish condition, you can match the blue paint stripe on them, that will get you close to where it once was.

to increase Camber:
LH: turn CCW (Counter ClockWise)
RH: turn CW (ClockWise)

to DEcrease Camber:
LH: turn CW
RH: turn CCW
