Helix DNA Coilovers

hey i was wondering if i have to get anything for my coilovers such as back camber plates to get an alignment set back to normal camber settings. or at-least good enough so it doesn't mess up my tires that bad.

Hey.

Toe is a bigger factor in tirewear then camber is. Best to run 0 toe for the least amount of camber wear. As for alignments and stuff, you should running a little more positive camber in the rear. Usually, there is more camber in the rear because it makes your car a little safer to drive. You should be able to get the stock range without any hardware additions. If you want more negative camber in the rear, you can always get camber bolts.

I just reread my post. Sounds a little confusing. I believe the rear camber specs are something like -1.5. You probably want to be closer to -1. More positive camber is probably a little better for the Subaru's in the rear. It is give or take depending on your suspension set-up. If you plan to be doing some spirited driving, go toward -1. If you are just daily driving keep within specs.
