Gen 4 camber top rotate for MOAR caster?

[bigBADbenny]

Whist I'm working on my front end suspension setup, prior to an alignment, I want to try this mod, rotating my camber tops so they face in and back.

The AVO caster adding eccentric LCA bushes will push the front wheels forward a little, rotating the tops will add even more caster and correct the forward push a tiny bit.

Not exactly any guides for doing this, but my understanding is to loosen the bearing mounts and the camber plates and simply rotate them, or do that after the LHS & RHS plates have been swapped.

Any advice most appreciated.

I thought the exact same thing when I installed my coil overs.

I have seen it done on a 2011/12 wrx on HSD coil overs. Simple rotated the top into a different position to allow MAX castor.

And it worked with noticeable / visual castor on the front wheels.

I think it does depend on how the design is of the top tho.

Almost 100% that the tops need to be swapped L to R, R to L... Find out soon enough

WRX/STi blokes have done it for years.

Sweet, strange it never seems to have been flavour of the month here.

Up this for anyone thats actually done it on a gen 4 with coilovers...

As you know- mine are set up normally, but i’ve now got the anti-lift kit which adds caster.
I couldn’t add any more caster without having serious, serious rubbing issues on the front bar X quarter panel.

I know that you wanted to go a little lower with yours as well!

The idea is adding caster at the lca end pushes the wheel forward...
And that adding a little more caster by rotating the camber top will offset that by a tiny bit.
I'll get to find out soon enough
