Default Subaru wrx 08 hatch front camber bolts.

Hi all. I own a 2008 wrx hatch and I have recently purchased some eibach camber bolts. I know the front struts have factory camber bolts but not enough camber for my liking! So I opted for the aftermarket eibach ones but when they turned up they were too small, as in the thread is not wide enough. Sometimes when I purchase parts for my vehicle they end up wrong, not sure why but does anyone know where I can get these bolts or better ones to fit??

Hi dan welcome

Are you going to be looking at getting camber on the rears aswell?

Yo cannot replace the stock Subaru camber bolt at front, most you can do is replace it in the other hole on hub which gives you a slight more camber but not much. All eibach camber bolts are same thickness. So most you can do is put one set in front and 2 sets in rear as they don't have camber bolts in rear.

Other option is coilovers or reversible top mounts

Ok, so even if I went for some GTspec ones they still Woudnt be the right thing?? I adjusted the camber with the factory ones but in the top hole, so of I move that bolt to the lower hole I will get a bit more camber, thanks, dan.

You cannot move the original camber bolt as its too thick, the eibach will have to go in bottom hole as that's what's it's designed for, also the 2 rears

Oh right, but the eibach bolt is too small and rattles about in the thread. So do I need to go for some different ones?? Or is the lower bolt a smaller thread? Sorry for repeating this but I'm new to all this camber stuff

Lower bolt hole is smaller along with the rear 2

Well on the pre hatch versions it is, I've no experience with the hatch's but should be same but not 100%
