Just fitted prodrive springs on MY03 WRX. camber question?
I had the springs fitted this morning. Lookswise the cars is notably lower, more so at the front and from the short drive I had its seems more direct and the ride control does not seem to have suffered greatly.
I cant really comment on the handling yet as I wanna give the car some time so the suspension can settle properly. Steering wheel is slightly off center but that should hopefully get fixed when I do the geometry. I received a sheet from prodrive with the camber and toe setting for both front and rear. Now comes the problematic bit, the mechanics at the garage where I had the springs fitted insist that camber on my car is not adjustable. Is this so or are they simply not competent? There are no subaru tuners or specialists in my country so any advice would be greatly appreciated?
Thanx in advance

The camber can be adjusted using the two bolts on the front strut....
The sheet that you got with your springs don't suppose you could scan and e-mail it could you?
I didn't get one with my Prodrive springss

if you take your wheel off, you will see behind your brake disc are two bolts squeezing the "fork" of your strut bracket to the brake-wheel part. When you release the top bolt and the bottom bolts, you can dial in quite a large number of camber angle ? Most of the 'play' comes from the top bolt.
edit: added picture
HTH.
I forget where the toe adjustments are for the rear, or if its possible. So I let someone else answer that one
