In this case it's mostly a wheel fitment issue I believe given the wicked stance.

The new rear suspension on the STI's has an upper wishbone with lower lateral and toe control links so it can add negative camber as the suspension compresses. Fronts are still MacStruts with don't really change their camber under compression. For a hard-running track car negative camber allows the tire to roll onto more contact patch under cornering, generating more lateral grip.
