| S204 Racer Car: 2004 STi Fav Mod: Momo fixed back seat, harness bar and Willans 6 point harness Location: Rancho Santa Margarita, C Posts: 2,823
IWSTI Addict since: Apr 2003 Trader Rating: (3) | I installed the Noltec race camber plates last night (full metal no polyurethane insert) http://www.oakos.com/Merchant2/merch..._Code=NOL44003. The only real issue i had was realizing i needed a spring compressor AFTER I popped the first strut assembly apart (no other Subaru suspension that i have worked on previously required a compressor). I did an eyeball adjustment with a few degrees of negative camber and turn in is almost immediate, understeer gone and throttle on oversteer in higherspeed corners is very easy to modulate. I am very happy with them so far. Ride harshness is increased but only slightly and is most noticeable on potholes. I will be getting a good alignment to my autoX specs after I put in the pink springs next month. I would have waited for the springs and done the whole thing as a package, but I wanted to see what effect the solid plates and sperical bearing would have on their own and i couldnt wait any longer This ad is not endorsed by this member.

IWSTI Addict since: Apr 2003 Trader Rating: (3) | stock USDM STi springs/struts for now. Pinks are coming in next month. Alignment settings are still a bit up in the air, but since i can adjust castor and camber I will likely not be overly aggressive with the negative camber. I will post settings once I get them sorted out later on in April. This ad is not endorsed by this member. Please register or login to hide this ad. |
