If you need a lot of camber, yes you'll likely need to get some of it from up top, plus you'll gain some tire clearance.

Replacing the front LCA would be done to increase strength, decrease unsprung weight, replace rubber bushings, and/or add extra adjustability. Good for a dedicated track car, but may not be necessary for a DD.

Yes, camber plates can make noise and a regular OEM, GroupN, or Whiteline COM C top may be a better choice for a noise-free daily driver. On our RCE T2 clubsports (based on KW) with camber bolts and Group N top mounts...we can get plenty of negative camber up front (well over -2).

I was able to get -1.4 with OEM suspension and OEM Subaru crash bolts. Do the Group N top mounts add some more camber, or was camber added from the shorter KW shocks?
