camber all messed up.....

i was wondering if anybody has had any problems w/ camber in the rear of thier wrx...i have DMS 40 mm coilovers and for some reason whenever i try to get places to do an alignment they always say they can't adjust the rear enough...i was wondering if i should get camber adjustment bolts in the rear ???

Yes, to adjust the rear camber you either have to buy camber bolts, or use the front ones and swap with the rear, if your front top mounts have camber adjustment capability.

Tell them to zero the top and then adjust from the bottom for the rear coilovers. They will never get it right trying to adjust from the top only. If you put the rear too low, it will make it harder for them also to adjust.

Side note: How do you like the DMS coilovers? Sorry to change the subject.

once u change the suspension geometry, you should always take the car to get it aligned at an alignment place. Camber bolts will help adjusting the rears as well.
