Trailcutr Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 1996 impreza L getting kyb struts (same impreza size) with king lift springs. It should raise the front 1.4 inch and the rear 1.5. Will I need different camber bolts or no? If so what do I need? Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocei77 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Nothing. Unless you want more/less camber than the stock units provide. Going that low you need at some point to replace the bump steer bushings. O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailcutr Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 OK so they should have enough adjustment at the alignment after? I wasn't sure how much raising it that much would affect it. It's not a big lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocei77 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Misread, thought you were lowering. Install and have alignment checked. O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I did a 96 Legacy with Outback struts and king springs lift springs. That was many years back so I'm trying to remember for sure, but the rear I think the factory bolts didn't allow any camber adjustment. I think it it was sitting like +30 or +40 with the outback struts and king springs. So I used a fast cam bolt on each side in the rear to get close to zero. Zero might not have been optimal it was just easier to set to zero. The fronts I believe I was still able to get zero or slightly negative with the stock bolt but it was at the very limit of its adjustability.

Trailcutr Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 Yeah the camber bolts are what I'm trying to figure out. The guy at primitive said I'd need two camber bolts for 1.3 inches with raised springs and two more camber bolts with 1/2 spacers to achieve 1.75 inch lift. I'm not sure what to do with only two camber bolts. It just needs to be ready at alignment or will cost more $$. I thought both the bolts at the bottom of the strut were camber bolts but I can remember now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailcutr Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 Well I meant I think there is one camber bolt at each corner, so two camber bolts would only do two wheels? Am I missing something? Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Stock is on the front, the top bolt only is the eccentric bolt for camber. The bottom bolt is just a normal bolt. In the rear I'm pretty sure stock is just two normal bolts, i.e. no allowance for rear camber adjustment stock on the mcpherson setup. Though one or two fast camber bolts can be used to make it adjustable. The fast cam bolts I didn't have any trouble with but some people have had issues with them slipping or I think snapping if they're overtorqued. So the place you are getting them from, if they are saying two fast cam bolts, then that is either for the rear, one on each side, or it is for replacing the factory eccentric bolt on the top front one per side if the the fast cam bolts have more adjustment, or it is for replacing the normal lower bolt on the front with a fast cam bolt so you can get more adjustment (also keeping the top factory eccentric bolt).

Trailcutr Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 I think I understand now. I must need two fast cam bolts for the rear if I add the half inch blocks. I'm not going to use the blocks after all so I'll only need the front two. From what I can tell at least. Ha-ha Thanks for info. What stock size and what would I need? Seems like 14 mm would be stock and 15 is outback size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailcutr Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Oh I see. They are still 14 mm but they have a bigger lobe to give it more adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
