Default Do I need camber bolts

I'm about to fit droplinks, ALK, ARB's and 18 inch wheels to my car, I'm already running BC coilovers so the car has been lowered a bit.

I'm not sure on the geometry settings at the moment as it was set up by the garage when the coilovers were fitted but I want to get a good setup on it now as I won't be adding anything else to it.

Question is do I need the camber bolts or do they just allow for the extreme settings? Also if I do need them do I need fronts, rears or both?

My car is an 06 Hawkeye WRX.

Thanks in advance.

Hi mate , the early BC's didn't rear adjustable top mounts so you will have to just check, if they are adjustable then that is the back sorted ,on the front you should have camber bolts to tweek camber and adjustable top mounts to give lot's of caster .

Cheers mate. as far as I know the rear shocks aren't adjustable so I'm guessing bolts will be required for the back.

And from what you said the fronts are adjustable already so I won't need anything for there. I know the tops of the shocks have camber marks indicated.

The BC coilover rear strut bottoms have one slotted hole giving loads of adjustment without the need for camber bolts.
