I have driven both Evo and STI. I still own my STI. A sway bar and small camber adjustment and the STI does just as good as the Evo.

There are not to many cars I would trade for my STi

i test drove both evo9 and 06sti while on vacation back home in hawaii from the military. honestly, both are great cars and its hard to decide which is faster on a 1/4 mile. sti had the initial torque but seems to drop off in the higher rpms, as opposed to the evo which is torqueless in the low rpm but takes off like a rocket in the higher rpms. like the video said, i still found myself leaning towards the sti, and it looked better in my opinion...

I was told it came with these camber bolts for the rear by the dealer when I called for parts, but the alignment shop said the rear was already neg 1.5 and it wasn't adjustable. Can you link me to said camber bolts? Next is my FSB, should be insane.

Anyway to get a 3 point strut bar onto an STi like the EVO has stock? Im sure that makes a big handling differnce, 2 point strut bars are a joke IMHO.

You want camber bolts up front to give you more - camber up there.

Your alignment shop is correct the rear is not adjustable stock, but camber bolts will make it so that it is.

the back usually has 1.5- camber and the front has depending on your year 1- camber max. this is one of the things that makes our cars understeer.

If you can get more negative camber up front than you have in the rear your call will rotate easier (oversteer) and you can step the back end out.

Camber bolts tend to lossen up and change thier camber settings, so it is not the best way to gain camber but it is the cheapest.

also camber bolts change your class if you plan on racing.

That's a review from 2003.
