Th3Franz Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Searched around but still have some questions. What parts have you guys swapped to be able to adjust your camber in the rear? I found a few options from adjustable links to an eccentric bushing that Whiteline makes. What's the best value for adjustable camber links? Also, how much camber are you able to get out of these setups? I have noticed that my wide tires are tight on clearance on the inbound side (signs of rubbing on the inner plastic, I think only when compressed a lot) but I am looking at running more camber in the rear due to the outside shoulders of the tires wearing a lot. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPerron Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 You need adjustable lower control arms. Perrin used to make them, but I'm not sure if they are still available. I got some equivalent pieces from a vendor on this forum. Can't remember who it was. In any case, they shouldn't be too hatd to fabricate. When you increase the rear neg camber, you will have to adjust the toe using the existing inboard eccentric bushings. Since these have a tendency to freeze up, check them before replacing the lower control arms. Otherwise, you'll be making two trips to the alignment shop. I was easily able to get 12 degrees - which helped my 245/40/17 tires clear the fender tops. I still had to roll the fenders and then had to use 1/16" spacers to allow the inner tire walls to clear the suspension. Then - I ended up with too much rear grip and had to increase the front neg camber to - 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FPerron Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 A meant, I was able to get at least -2 degrees rear camber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Th3Franz Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Found a case of a whiteline arm failing on Legacy in Australia. I emailed them to see if they'll comment on the cause. Do the new STI/WRX use the same rear lower control arms as our cars? -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz95 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 They also have camber bolts for the rear struts...not too much of a difference though. I believe it's only .5 either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Camber bolts (rear) do not work on LGT. Only on WRX/STi. Whiteline offers KCA399 which allows 1deg more rear camber andKTA124 which allows camber and toe adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
