I bought some Eibach camber bolts to put in the rear of my BD legacy with 04 STI struts. They don't want to go in very easy. Is this normal?

yes. the sedan struts aren't meant to be in a wagon and there is some side loading on them at rest because of it.

So I should be able to still run them? Or suggesting I don't.

I also have a Sedan.

by "sedan" I mean 02-07 WRX, which has a wider track than say our 98 legacy sedan. We essentially have the same problems as a wrx wagon when it comes to using the newer stuff.

I personally have been using the sti stuff on two cars for like the last 7 years (I recently picked up some low mile 07 sti struts to use the dampers). it's been working just fine but I do notice that the rear doesn't feel quite right and is too stuff.

Have you had any experience with rear camber bolts with the setup?

yes. maxed out I'm at -1.1 degrees of rear camber. slotted the front struts which gets me up to -3.

stock sti struts, rce black springs, whiteline com-c front top mounts.
