There is quite a bit of "wiggle room" stock in the rear as far as camber goes, although there is no "adjuster" per se. I think it would be worth the investment to get some crash bolts for the rear in your case, regardless.

Needed a street/highway setup, so "only" -1.5 for tire wear

Ya, I need to 1) find a shop who I trust, and 2) give them rear bolts when I get the car realigned.

Good point. I am not sure if ours is broken or just set way wrong. I don't know enough about tuning suspension to fix it myself.

Sooo...like I said, good luck getting yours 'tuned'.

Pansy, you know how many miles i have, and how much highway driving i do, and i'm at -2.1 degrees, and even tire wear

**nandanrp** · 08-10-2007, 01:11 PM

The

Blame t3h_

Yea, you will be safe at -1.5, and a little more too

Lack, canada, no wonder.

that.

-2 to -2.5° works well for me so far.

LOLSTi · 08-10-2007, 01:45 PM

I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum... I love -3.2* up front (with the 6gun Ball Joint Adapters) and -1.4* in the rear... I find that any less up front or more in the rear and the car falls back into the stereotypical "Subaru push" mode.

...I also don't have coilovers, or any kind of high(er) rate springs.

AndrewSS · 08-11-2007, 12:08 PM

-3.2 and -1.0 ftw

But really, I think you can do -2.0 or even -2.5 on the streets without really odd tire wear of course if toe is zero... just hopefully you drive around some corners somewhat at speed. I suppose a long trip on the free way could reveal a bit of wear with -2.5 plus, but I drive around all the time with -3.2 in the fronts and the wear isnt too bad really. But if you arent using the car for autox/track/etc going more than -2.0 or -2.5 might not be worth it.

255/40-17s on 8.5" ET +51 wheels will rub the inner rear fenders on an 05 with Pinks. Just a tiny bit at -1.8 camber, a bit more with -1.3.

IBNandan!

I am certain pics are forthcoming.

***snorky*** · 08-11-2007, 07:25 PM

Nan, i run 2.2* front 1.4* rear 0 toe all around w/ no wear issues.

$50 for an alignment is cheap!

**nandanrp** · 08-13-2007, 09:56 AM

I do lonnnnng distance highway driving, so even tire wear is important.

Anyways, the car feels great right now. Drove to Chicago last night and the Pinks felt like a better ride than stock, just a little harsh on really hard bumps (but still not much worse than stock).

I was happy with a few twisties when I had boony's 255 on too

I'll have pics of that up soon...it's been a BUSY morning at work

Test fit thread: TEST FIT: 17" x 8.5" +51 Prodrive GC-06H w/ 255/40-17 RT-615s on Pinks

Here's pics from the test fit:

Boony's car getting the de-snorkuseded

He threatened physical violence if I dawdled while removing them

Just so I'm clear: Not my wheels. Only for a test fit.
