I was searching for how much camber the stock camber bolts give you and found this:

Quote:
Your OEM front struts have an eccentric bolt install in the lower bottom hole of the strut, where it mounts to the axle assembly, and is good for 0.75 +/- degrees of adjustment. You can also install and aftermarket eccentric bolt, by Whitline in the upper mounting hole to gain another 0.75 degrees of adjustment. Be careful with the added bolts, because your added camber will need to coordinated with your SAI values when the alignment shop aligns your car. For example, if you ask the tech to dial in as much negative camber as he can get out of the eccentric bolts like -1.25 degrees for the left and right wheels without looking at the SAI byproduct, your car may pull at low speeds due to uneven SAI's. So the amount of usable adjustable camber will be limited to the SAI values it produces. I would suggest that you do not add the top eccentric bolts, rather add Whiteline’s ALK-street version to gain more positive caster, which will not effect your tire wear or an adjustable strut top hat that will give you more direct control over the SAI and camber values-especially if you keep the factory eccentric bolt in place and use them to even out the left and right SAI before you adjust the caster with the top hats.

What are SAI's and do I need to worry about them?

Oh, and he's talking about a '04 WRX/STI/Spec-C MY04 WRX/STF 6mt apparently.
