ok so it might be a stupid question but i had my rear fenders rolled and once i got my new rims on my passenger side has more camber than my driver side. My question is how do can i get my driver side to have negative camber to match the passenger side as it looks like i rub still slightly on the driver side and passenger side is perfect with no rub cause of the negative camber it has. would i basically have to get camber plates? or would botls fix this? its on a 2003 wrx with coilovers
Let me guess. You just slapped the new coilovers on and didn't get a full alignment or corner weighting done? You will need camber bolts for the rear for sure.
depends on the "coilovers," but they most likely don't come with rear camber plates. Get it aligned first. If you need more adjustment look into camber plates, adjustable rear lateral links, or possibly slotting the rears. That said, I bet some simple height adjustment (raise the corner that is further negative) is all you really need. Get a hold of your spanner wrenches and make an appointment with Jeff the Alignment guy.
i wish i bought the coilovers but they came with the car when i bought the car so there is not wrench for the coilovers or anythnig from the previous owner. Im not even sure if the PO did an alignment or not should i just get one done anyways to make it safe?
Yes. Check with whoever is going to do your alignment to make sure they have a spare set of spanner wrenches or something similar to adjust the collars. Some places won't touch a car lowered on coilovers so call ahead with as much info as you have. Iirc every inch in ride height on the GD accounts for about 2deg camber, so depending on the hardware that's on there now and how far out of whack it is, adjusting ride height may be the only reasonable way to get things in spec.
In case you missed the direct referral from Idget earlier, get in touch with Jeff Forss (Jeff The Alignment Guy). Google around for references if you're curious about his reputation. Then give him a call, set up an appointment, sit back and watch the chassis ninja work his mojo. "Aggressive" alignments and full aftermarket hardware is not a problem for him.
Also worth a mention: I found a really good alignment to be the second-most transformative "mod" to my handling right under tire compound and above RSB swap. Do it. Peer pressure.
