Do I need rear camber bolts?
I'm planning on installing the Eibach Pro-kit on stock struts on my '02 WRX sedan. I'm also throwing on my new 18" Tarmac IIs. My question is: does anyone know FIRSTHAND, if I will need camber bolts for the rear to set camber back to within stock specs? Please keep in mind that I will not track this car. I am simply installing the aforementioned to improve looks and "sportify" (...is that even a word?....) the ride. I am very concerned with tread life, so I don not want any excess camber.
I have SPT's (Eibach) and the rear drops 1.2" and I needed camber bolts because I was at -2 and factory specs are -1.5. Any drop will increase - camber so if you want to be at stock spec's you will need a bolt kit. I would add some - camber to the front to help with understeer. The factory spec is -.5 and the rear is -1.5 so if you keep the toe at 0, add some - camber to the front and rotate regularly you wont have excessive wear.
Good luck

I bought mine here: http://www.whiteline.com.au/docs/bul...074_KCA412.pdf but I think you can find other brands cheaper. Im pretty sure that price is in Australian dollars and there is a way to convert the two somewhere on that site. The final bill with shipping and taxes was $88.

I am looking at getting a set of camber bolts for my wrx. I wanted to know if anyone has used the H&R camber bolts. They look a little diffrent then the whiteline ones so I wanted to find out whitch one is better. Here is a link to a place that has the H&R bolts.

By the look of them I would buy the Whiteline because of the teeth in the head of the bolt. You want to make sure they dont move because if they do your camber will be off. I dont know that the Whiteline ones are better but It just looks like they are designed better. Not sure what the spacer on the H&R"s is all about.
