kyb shocks and HR springs will be fine. avoid kyb strut mounts at all costs and purchase OEM only.

what camber bolt kit did you buy? one bolt per side up front, upper strut knuckle bolt only.

chances are your existing boots are OK. the 63632 would work just fine.

rear camber change requires a little advanced knowledge and assembly can go wrong. you need to know the alignment and camber to start, the tone ring kit, and a few different thicknesses of washers. eyeballing it is probably not going to be good enough at all.

those spc bolts are the same ones i have for sale right now. i used them last season but removed them when i blew 2 konis on the front right. not related to the bolts. plus i do my own alignments with longacre plates and some drywall lasers.

the rear is a complete shock unit, no boots are required.

the only camber related trouble in the rear is if your tires are too wide and hit the fenders. if you use the stock 17x7 nav wheels you can totally dump it i think. the camber doesn't change.

i have not had that trouble with the stock links binding in my experience lowered further than an inch on coils for two racing seasons.

you get deep enough to realize no mods matter without a limited slip. no amount of stickiness or suspension fixes that :(

personally i never look at the highway rating i deal primarily in treadwear. 200tw and lower are street/race, anything above that is softer ;) less grippy.

but the only way to really fix it is to get smaller wheels... this is why i also run 17s, the sidewall is a little taller and can soak up bumps better.

200tw is where it is at now but the yokos are dated. even the falken rt660 delivers better performance/wear at a better price point. that's why i run em... second to only the re71r (super fast wear).

i think the imprezas are much better sprung compared to our cars stock. they also weigh more.
