Do a search on Race Comp Engineering. RCE> they're the best in my opinion. Noltec makes some. Cusco. Tein. Etc. There's lots of different sites to find them. And/or your local shop.


I have the notec's in my garage. I'd let them go for $120 plus shipping.

i had a bad camber problem in the fronts as well cause i was using s-techs. i switched to prodrives and dont have that problem any more.

check your local hardware store for the same eliptical bolts that you have but with bigger lobes. i paid like 40 bux and got some good ones

First, your front camber should be adjustable stock using the top bolt from the upright. You can by additional whiteline camber bolts for front and rear to get a little more which if you are looking to get your camber less negative, should be plenty. You generally only need to resort to camber plates if you want more negative camber. For example, I ran -3.25 and -2.5 on my car which required camber plates all around. Even with that setup, I did not wear my tires too bad. The key is a very good alignment. Most alignment racks/places doesnt give you as good an alignment as you would think. Go to a quality place and ask for zero toe all around, and a degree or so of negative camber should have almost no affect on your tires

I don't know if this will be okay, but I think you need to replace all 4. All the tires need to be the same diameter.

Out of curiosity are you running stock suspension or modified? I've always had a proper alignment and have had no problems with inner tire wear be it stock or with Prodrive springs on my 04 STi. I also understand specific tread patterns on some tires are more prone to uneven wear than others. When I had stock suspension on my STi and running Yokohama AVS ES100 tires, they were prone to cupping. I switched to Bridgestone RE750 on advice from TireRack and have had no problems since.
