Camber

I'm new to my WRX. Can I get some suggestions to increase camber to about 2-2.5 degrees? It will be basically used as a track car. Just have ft and rear sways. Camber plates? Which ones? ALK?
Thanks for the help.

ALK kit is a *****. Takes a bit of work and is being argued as to helping out or making carnering worse vs. lift.

I'd get a camber plate kit like Cusco or MRT etc. Bushing kit and alum. forged control arms as well. Good luck! I'm getting mine through Gruppe-S Cusco front pillowball mounts but on backorder for 2 weeks. Let me know what u do on here!

LOL...sorry about that confusion...it's the same exact thing...I just refer to it differently now and again. My bad

Yeah it's just the pillowball aluminum plate that allows camber/castor adjustments from the strut tower...but that's pretty obvious.

OOOO the old monkey! Not used to seeing that anymore! AWESOME..

No ****! Wow...hmm, maybe the pillowball mount is the camber plate with a ballbearing up top where as the camber plate just bolts up to the strut!? I never knew they had both, thanks for pointing that out

Now I'm curious as well but I'm sure it has to do with bearing vs. nonbearing.
Anyone know for sure?

I'd look into getting the MRT (or Noltec, same thing really) Caster/Camber plates. You can probably find them for the same or less than the Cusco ones and you get the added benefit of increased Caster which is what you get with an ALK. The only real disadvantage is that they don't have the adjustment markings on them like the Cusco plates do.
