my 2000 rs currently has kyb gr2 structs with eibach pro springs, so the ride is lowered to the right height. however, there is camber. (positive or negative, i don't know) the inside treads wear off faster than the outside treads. so, what should i do? is there any good camber kit to fix the problem?
another thing is that i don't like the current suspension setup. the ride is stiff, yet when driving around bay area, the crappiest road condition ever, the dampening is not enough and the bumps transfer to the steering wheel constantly. how can i improve this? i want to get prodrive springs, but what structs should i get? please help. thanks~~

An alignment will get rid of the camber problem you're having.

What you're describing is negative camber. Any good alignment shop will be able to correct that, to a certain point. What are you looking to get out of it? Most 'racers' that enjoy a good mountain pass or the twisties like this, so negative camber isn't such a bad thing, as it will improve your cornering stability. But if it's chewing through your tires quickly, you should get it adjusted. I know the WRX's come from the factory with about -0.4 camber (in the front atleast, and the rears are that, if not more, because the rears don't have camber bolts). Alot of Subaru owners enjoy anywhere between -1.4 to -0.7 if they're running aftermarket rims/tires and or suspension, to get that extra edge of aggressiveness.
