tein flex rear camber plates?

alright i have an 05 sti, i am running tein flex coilovers and am in need of a rear camber plate. i am running 18x9 by 30 rims and need to pull the top of the tire in for more clearence. i have bolts and all 4 whiteline adjustable control arms. with the arms i have to run 3 degrees to clear due to them pushing out the bottom of the tire and not pulling in the tops. i contacted tein and they can rebuild the flex's to fix there plates they make for the mono flexs= stupid money and down time. so does any one know a rear plate i can run with the teins? if not i am thinking about running the bc racing er coilovers with plates. any help would be great, thanks guys

Eibach Camber bolts and grind...

Thought I would share what I engineered to get 18x9.5 e38 ROTA Grids with 245/40/18r's to work on my 2006 STI without rubbing. I have TEIN Flex Coilovers and needed the Eiback Camber bolts to add camber in the rear as the Flexes have no camber plates.

- Grinded the rear fender lips using an angle grinder
- Eibach camber bolts (provided -1.75*...moved wheel about 8-9mm in)
- Rolled the front fenders
- 5mm spacers up front (consider using 8mm-10mm spacer as they are very close to calipers)

No more rubbingHere is a photo:

I don't get it..

I fit the same size tire on 8.5's with no issues of having to create something to have more camber to fit better...

These are an inch wider and have an effective offset of +33 because of needing the 5mm spacers to clear the brakes. Bit different then your setup Heedz.

The Cusco rear camber plates have been confirmed to fit the TEIN Flex coils. You may need to request a different size center pin (thing that goes into the pillow mount) and top bolt for the plates though. Either way they will work.
