RCE Street Camber Plates Install HELP
 
I recently got the RCE street camber plates and cannot find insctruction on how to install them on the RCE website.

Closest thing I can find on the website is the 04-07 STI Camber Plate Install which look like this LINK

Can anyone help me out and verify those instructions will work for the FRS?

Okay so I went ahead and followed the steps in the 04-07 STI instructions and it all went together. Only thing that was different was the strut does not have an OEM Subaru Conical Washer.

Next question I have for anyone is should I leave the Whiteline crash bolts in?

Also once I re-assemble everything, to adjust the camber I remove the 4 allen bolts then use the tool provided to turn the cog until desired camber is achieved?

Here are some pics of what it looks like.

Keep the bolt in, camber plates typically get -2 to -2.5 degrees of camber for you, the car really likes to be at about -3 or more so the bolts will be crucial in getting maximum grip.

Get as much camber out of the bolt as possible, get it even left to right with the bolt if you can and then leave it alone do all your adjustments with the plate for simplicity imo.

Glad you got it together.

This, in the bold. Just got aligned after doing top mounts and camber bolts, asked for -2.5 up front. Still have a bit more to go if I want, but figured it would be best to start a bit more conservative.

Awesome, that makes sense. When I take it to the alignment shop you think they will understand that when I tell them?

I also just threw on some rear lower control arms. So I should be shooting for - 3 camber front and - 2.5 rear?

Depends on the shop, the local tire place will probably stare at you blankly, the shop that does racecars and track cars and Porsches and Corvettes day in and day out will assume that's what you want if you have a quality conversation with the service writer.

Lots of variables on the alignment, that's a decent wag although I would guess you'll eventually add more camber up front (easy to diy with the plates, it doesn't affect the other alignment parameters very much) and maybe take some out of the rear with those numbers. No advice on the internet will be as good as your own experimental results. Good luck.
