Outback Lift - camber question
#1

Since it is a lift, he was thinking it would need positive camber. Any advice on this?
Thanks,

It won't NEED positive camber, but you will get positive camber until you correct for it during alignment.Today I'm having the scorpion springs and KYB GR2 struts installed on my '98 Outback. The mechanic was wondering about camber.

I picked up my car yesterday and it looks and rides great! Based on advice from another person who has done this set up, I'm going to wait a week for everything to settle in before getting the alignment.
Next step is the addition of a custom swing away (out to the side) full size spare tire rack my brother's building up for me - I'll post a photo when it's finished.
After that I'll have what I consider the perfect vehicle for the kind of driving and road trips I do.

I had the same spring & strut combo installed about three years ago. The work was done at the dealership and they did an alignment after the parts were all in. I've never had any issues with the handling or tire problems that would suggest poor alignment. I'm just assuming that there is plenty of adjustment available since they didn't try to hit me up for a more expensive "custom" alignment.

Sounds like I might not need those cam bolts after all.
Definitely post some pics, looking forward to seeing it!

I was hoping to get another inch or so using some sort of light duty truck tire.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!
