Recommended rear camber plates for '03?

I purchased a '93 NA Legacy about six months ago, and its set up for rallycross, which means it was raised at least a couple of inches, if not more. The unfortunately side effect is that the rear wheels now appear to have at least a couple of degrees of positive camber. I tried installing camber bolts, and the rear wheels are still visibly (and measurably) leaning in.

My next step is to try camber plates, although they can be expensive. Are there any recommended models that will fit this car? My understanding is that anything '93-'01 Impreza RS should fit, but I can only find front camber plates, not rears.

Thanks for any tips or links to existing threads on the site.

One of the best ways to adjust your rear camber will be to use the adjustable lateral links from Whiteline. They'll also let you upgrade your rear sway bar attachement style giving you a couple more options there for endlinks. They are a little pricey I guess but you get full adjustability.

Something to look into.

Out of curiousity, what kind of springs are you running that gave you the lift?

Thanks for the suggestion! I don't know for sure the origin of the springs, as the suspension had been modified when I bought it as a rallycross car. I was told they were STi springs, but when I took them off and compared the compression to RS and WRX springs they were much, much softer. The combination of tall, soft springs with STi struts works great on the extremely rough rallycross courses, but the strong positive camber can't be healping.

Do you think the white line KTA108s are the right lateral links?

From what I'm seeing the KTA 108s are for 02+ WRX.

What you want is something that works for 93'-99' imprezza. GC chassis.

The KTA 108's are for the Wagon's, which will work for our cars.

I am using them on my car.

Well, I guess that answers that. I'm sorry for the confusion.

Josh - thanks for clarifying that for me.
