How much camber wear from Eibach Pro Kit
 
I am getting pro kits and using camber bolts for the front. If I dont use control arms for the rear, how much camber will I have?

At full negative camber in the front it will probably be around -1 degree.
The rear with lowering springs will be around -2 degrees.

You sure?
Won't the crash bolt give you at least half a degree?
With the bolt and springs I would think we could get up to -1.5 or more.

Getbent, is this from experience or research?

I'm interested as well since I have the ProKit on the way and will be using the crash bolts also.

You will get -1.5 tops with the crash bolts. I was only able to get -1.3.

With that modest drop, you'll probably get -1.5 - 2.5 range in the rear without any LCA...but it differs from car to car. My alignment came to be -1.7 on driver side, and -2 on passenger side -- all still within acceptable factory camber range.

Toe is what gives you tire wear; there's little toe-in from the factory to help rear stability.

Hope this helped :)

I have Swift springs and the factory crash bolts. Front ended up at -1.2. If you want more you are going to need to do Com-C or some other camber plates.

I have the Pro-Kit on mine, and my rear alignment specs are the same as Yohan04. I have had them installed for about 10,000 miles now with no kind of abnormal wear visible. I'm running the same size rims and tires all around, so I'm going rotate them every oil change.

slowbrz 03-21-2013 11:27 PM

May somebody recommend me a good set of camber bolts?

So Im assuming the only thing youre using are camber bolts for the front?

I've got the Sportline springs and my front camber is close to -.7 and rear is -2.0... Nothing to be concerned about. It'll be even less with the Pro kit. I don't think the pro kit is a big enough drop on this car.

Yes, just adjustable bolts up front. I thought about buying the Whiteline adjustable bushings for the rear, but haven't seen a need for them.

I would just go with the Subaru crash bolts (part# 901000394).

It should be enough to give you -.5 extra upfront.
Cheap (was $5each at my dealer) and pretty easy to get.
There is an equivalent Scion part # but I gather it would be more expensive there and it is the same bolt.

slowbrz 03-22-2013 11:44 AM

Are Whiteline bolts any better? They cost a little more
