The camber looks close at least, nothing they can do in the rear for camber. They just completely f'd up your rear toe, if they won't correct find a new shop.

What were you wanting to be set at?

They didn't charge me. They just said there's literally nothing they can do unless I buy adjustable parts. I was hoping to just get to RCE's recommended settings

So they can adjust your front camber and toe...you can get -1 front camber easily. Rear camber they cannot adjust but all of your toe can be adjusted without anything.

The ONLY thing they would need is something to fix your rear camber If you don't want to be at -2.

I guess as wrxlaunch said just go to another shop.

I have been saving for a fun/weekend car and would rather put my money into that. My wife is really softening on getting a Lotus Elise. I have wanted one for a long time but have been thinking another used BRZ or MX-5 or S2K, but my wife told me the Lotus "looks cooler" and would fit better in our third car garage



I think she is getting close to letting me pull the trigger. I am thinking this time next year...

Can't go wrong with an s2k

Ummm...no. The camber does not look fine. How come there is no negative in front of rear right camber?

Also, how does a brand new car become so out of spec WRT caster? 7 degrees on the left side and 5 something on the right side?

Ducksauce, did you install these yourself? Are you sure you did it correctly? You may want to have someone fix it for you.

Find a reputable shop...not wheel works or goodyear or firestone.

Front says -.9 and -.7. rear I missed it was positive in the bottom right. Not sure how that could have happened either.

That is reeeeally bad. As in probably impossible bad. Like you got hit by an 18 wheeler and then you forgot about it bad. That toe and camber is just not going to happen in reality. I would be able to see it if it were that far out with the car on the ground and the car would be basically undriveable.

Seriously, the only way you're getting +2 degrees of rear camber on your car is if you got hit by a bus or something.

My guess is their machine isn't calibrated or the tech just didn't do it correctly.

I would recommend another shop.

Ducksauce,

Try this guy if you are in Minneapolis. He is quirky, but really good. He did my alignment on my 15 WRX. Something seems really off. If this guy comes back and says your screwed it would seem to point to the springs being installed incorrectly.

Interesting...looks like the fronts are re-buildable with inserts.

Yeah the JDM ones have a weird shock profile too.

But our GTWORX rear will have 7 presets for rear height adjustability with the usual cir clips.

In development for end of year.

Usual lifetime warranty and matched to yellows and Blacks. Optional oem valving profile too.

Is anyone here running Tarmac 0s on their car? Looking to lower a bit more (about 1.25") than what the Yellows are offering without completely compromising ride quality.

How are you finding your rear camber now that it's dialed back to -0.60*?

That's a bit low IMO...leaves some rear grip on the table. Especially with that rear toe out. I bet it's a lot of fun to fling around though.

Definitely low, but this really dials out the undeesteer. I would want more rear camber in an STi due to the diffs and less tendency to push

It's a street driven care so it's not so much about all out grip as all out fun. And this thing feels sharp as a razor right now. Car rotates very well on throttle, Just need to be mindful of lift throttle oversteer in sweepers.

I may have them dial it back a bit for the winter. We will see. Could be tons of fun....

That does sound fun.

The toe out could be a handful in the snow. The camber is probably fine though (not much roll happening).

Has the 2016 WRX w/inverted struts (18" wheels) been confirmed to work with these yet?

I really wanted to do some yellows for my 2016 WRX but I think RCE is not gonna have them until later this year. Might have to spend my $$$ on a cobb AP in the time being.

I'm sure it's a development thing. I will buy them when they do have them, but was hoping for sooner than later. The softer strut/shock thing must have really screwed stuff up. I guess waiting for them to get it right is a good them by too.
