I’m thinking about adding a rear camber kit, is this odd?
The reason I’m looking to do this is I’ve read an article on the AutoSpeed (http://www.autospeed.com/cms/search/index.html?keywords=wrx+handling) website that reviewed fitting a 22mm rear adjustable arb, a front 22mm arb and a anti lift kit as part of a whiteline handling kit.
The article then states:-
This might seem like an unusual mod to the rear of a WRX - which we generally try to make 'active' at the rear - but the primary intention is to allow you to adjust the rear swaybar to its firmest setting. You see - without the camber kit and the rear 'bar set at its firmest - the rear-end can snap oversteer when you back off the throttle suddenly. Adding rear negative camber lessens this tendency and makes the car more forgiving to drive.
I intent to add a 24mm rear arb as the general consensus is 24mm rear 22mm front.
How many of you are running a 24mm rear arb with rear camber bolts?
If you haven’t got rear camber bolts do you experience any “snap oversteer”?
