Default Worth fitting rear camber bolts ?????

Has anyone fitted these to a hawkeye sti? I was wondering if its a worth while mod! A couple of questions;;
1. Will I be able to feel and difference?
2. Will I get too much inside tyre wear?
3.Why are the WHITELINE ones double the price of the EIBACH ones?
Sorry for all the questions.

only worth doing if you intend having a better geometry setting put into the cars setup,they allow more camber adjustment thus better grip,not totaly sure as to tyre wear but have heard of some more aggressive setups causng this.hthy.

Yeah I was going to have the geo done again but I don't want anything to aggressive, it must be a good thing to be able to adjust the rear for camber tho as i think theres no camber adjustment at all. I was going to have my specialist adjust the rear anti roll bar at the same time.
Do you have them fitted Carl ?

Yes its worth having them fitted if your getting it setup by someone that knows how to set a car up properly. Tyre wear isn't really that harsh, but if your going to get lots of camber and then drive up and down the motorway then it isn't worth doing it. If your going to drive the A roads then the tyres will wear pretty even if it's all setup right.

well mate i have rear arb,droplinks,anti lift/pro lift kit,roll centre kit,and had coilovers(bc)and geometry done at well known scooby place but they did not fit rear camber bolts so would suggest a pretty basic setup was put in.i am having done again by someone who said they will spend the day on it and test on the road to see how it feels ! i was a bit nieve really when it was done before,so never asked about the camber bolts on the rear.cant wait till its done as just had new vreddy sessantas all round so should be more chuckable on the twistys.

Carl Don't your BC's have rear camber adjustment ? If they do you wont need the bolts.
