Spindle bracket.jpg

So I'm faced with the task of modifying the front spindle brackets to fit 2005 STI spindles. I've seen a couple different solutions in the build threads, but I haven't seen where anybody has addressed what this will do to camber gain.

The easiest solution I think will be to weld one of the existing holes closed, add some material to the bracket either above or below the hole that was welded closed, then re-drill the new hole to fit the spindle.

If I move the bottom hole lower, that will result in less camber gain than if I move the top hole up. We're only talking about about a 3/8" difference in the height of the upper ball joint between the two options.

Has anyone taken the time to plot the camber gain engineered into the suspension with the standard WRX spindles? Does anyone have a decent target number for camber gain with this kind of car?
