Stock Suspension Camber Adjustment?

Acejam2k · 09-11-2007, 03:51 PM

Hey all,

I have an 07 STi that I autocross very frequently.

As of now I have:

17x8 Rota G-Force's
245/40/17 Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R's

Obviously these tires are wider than stock. Therefore, when I have them on at my events, the front wheels look as if there is 0 camber. The wheel looks to be straight up/down, with no negative camber showing.

This can also be seen when comparing the tire wear patterns between the front and rear tires, the front wearing more towards the outside sidewall.

As of now I'm on stock suspension, and to be honest, I'd like to keep it that way for my warranty period. As of now, I can see myself picking up some swaybars at the beginning of next season, but thats all for now.

So, my question is: Is it possible to have the camber adjusted in the front of an sti on stock suspension? I've read somewhere that the rear can be adjusted with camber bolts; will these work for the front as well?

Thanks!

Use the search feature and read some of the stickies at the top. Your answers can be found there. Yes, you can use camber bolts for the front. Stock front camber is maxed around -0.9 on average and the camber bolts seem to gain anouther -0.5 if I'm not mistaken. My advice is to get a set of camber plates. These will allow you up to about -3 in the front.
