Deployment and contract money is always a good feeling. Just try to control yourself everyone goes buck wild their first time and than sits back and says wow you really can blow $10k in a month. I prefer the compare and spend method I have enough cash to buy a super charger but with HKS and Innovate ready to start selling any day now and Vortech just releasing a kit that gives 294hp out of the box I'm still shopping around until I'm 100% sure I found the best kit for what I'm looking to do.

If its just a straight dump, then you may run into problems. Though I can say there was atleast 2 uncorked imprezas out there @ AMP last time.

How much would 1°-1.5° of camber affect the life of the tire. Would there be obvious tire wear on the side walls? Thx for your input :-)

1 deg is probably good for regular or slightly aggressive driving, 1.5 - 2 is better for spirited or track driving. I have about 1 degree now and it's not enough.

Do you see a lot of tire wear or pretty reasonable?

Ksport said that the Conner plates can do about 1-2° of camber then I can get more on the bottom part of the coil which all together could be around 4-5° of camber

I checked out my tires today and they are wearing pretty evenly with 1.5 degrees of camber.

Okay so with camber plates, I went all the way towards the engine. Don't have a measure on it but will check this out and get tires rotated and then see what happens. Most I think I'm at will be at 2° so I shoukdnt see much tire wear. Plus I rotate tires whey 2000 miles. Changing that too 1000 each tire rotation now

Dont wory about wear at 1-2 degree's. S2000 UK spec was -2 in the rear from the factory which should shed some perspective.

And KSports allow 2 degree in each direction from the center point of mount. This doesn't mean 2 degree's from 0 degree's camber. If you lower the car your wheel tilts in. Which is why the camber plates allow you to camber out 2 degree's as well. All the way in will depend on your ride height for angle. I just had to adjust mine as somehow i managed to push them in at one point and the camber was visually pretty noticeable, and after 1k or so miles i have noticeable inner wear. Its not that much wear but you can see it.
