I had them in my car before it went back to STX legal and indeed, it makes a difference. I am considering replacing my stock bushings with brand new OEM ones in hopes that at least it might help a little; currently the car has awful memory steer problems. That isn't so much performance to me but rather a nuisance.

[QUOTE=fliz]I thought camberplates were legal in STX?[/QUOTE]
They are, as well as camber bolts (crashbolts) which if I remember right were made legal in a Fastrack earlier this year.
Thing with camber plates though is you can have different control arms OR camber plates, but not both. I choose the stock control arms (which weigh 1.7lbs more than then pimp aluminum STi ones) and some camber plates. Oddly enough yet another mod I had on my car that had to be removed to go back to STX-legal. :)

Don't forget subframe connector bolts under the rear...what's that legal in? Not in STX...SM? ESP?

P.S. What's the easiest way to tell the stock steering bushings apart from the aftermarket ones?

I don't think those subframe bolts are legal in any class.....
Steering rack bushings? Color or durometer test is the only way I know...

the Subframe connectors are indeed legal in SM....and I think ESP....
As for the bushings....a Durometer gauge that measures hardness..
Noltec is pretty sneaky...as their bushings are black like OE....Whitelines are YELLER...;)

Subframe connectors are NOT Street Prepared legal and they are Street Modified legal only if they connect front-to-rear not side-to-side. I believe the parts he is refering to connect side-to-side and are thus not Street Mod legal.
Here's the rule from Street Modified:
18.1.F: "Subframe connectors are allowed, but each connector must be attached individually [b]without any lateral components attaching the two longitudinal frame rails[/b]. Subframe connectors may be bolted or welded"
(Emphasis by me, not by the rule book)

Aha! I had heard that someone made black ones. Thanks Bill. :)

I think he's talking about the Whiteline subframe lock bolts. They "lock" the rear subframe to the unibody because there are no bushings there. Just some convenient tapped holes Subaru left.
