I would suggest swapping back to the stock strut assembly and stock bolts (i.e. nothing is adjustable) and checking camber (even visually) to prove/disprove subframe issues. |

I ended up buying a set of the stock 14mm crash bolts to install on the top and flipped it around to the stock orientation. Is this okay? |

All very confusing. Do you have a pic of the lower mount on the side with not enough camber?

Just for reference, had the same issue with mine. About 1.7 more camber on right vs left after coilover install when both set to max camber.

Data point, for my kw variants, driver side I had to use bottom oem bolt on top slot and camber bolt on bottom to get -4.6 ish. I was at -3.5 ish if I just used bottom bolt on top. So not as bad as you.
On passenger side, I got -4.5 with just the bottom bolt on top. With slotted hole and camber plates maxed out on both sides. Jrz had the same issues on the same car. Last edited by dreamwonder; 06-01-2023 at 09:33 PM. |

Don't know how many more times I'll have to say it, but camber is MAXED at those bolts. |

Oops should have read more carefully. I’d try putting the oem Subaru crash bolts in the upper slot which I believe was mentioned. I thought the lower mounting was point was slotted but it’s the upper that’s slotted.

Just received SPC camber bolts to install in place of lower bolts. If I'da known I'd have to resort to this I could've saved ~$15 I spent on the Subaru crash bolts! So how much will SPC camber bolts by themselves get me in terms of negative camber? Hopefully a degree anyway... |

I was able to get -1.2° or so with the SPC lower.
Plus -1° when I added upper crash bolt. Interestingly when I did Bilsteins they had issues getting camber set intially. Had to fully loosen everything on the rack then jam on the strut and adjust it for everything to shift properly. Best case scenario something weird like that is happening but who knows. |
