Happy 4th all. Playing around on a lathe today. This is my take on camber adjusters for the rear.

Are these close to what you started with when this thread began?
I should add. Street car. No racing will happen.

mmkay I'll probably add some sometime....
Put over 1k miles on my setup and I love it but now I'm starting to get some creaking from the rear struts. Think it might have something to do with how muddy my driveway is but haven't had time to put it up it the air and check yet.

I thought they were necessary, but people have been proving that wrong. I haven't had problems with the thin style, but suggested that Clif make the thicker style, which he's been running on his championship winning autocross festiva. This is all just suggestion, but there are always different ways to build good results.

Awesome! How necessary are these though? I'm just letting mine sit against the strut tower at the moment. It you use the stock festiva strut bushings it fits almost perfectly in the center of the spring and keeps the top of the spring centered. I want to eventually get some top hats made but don't know how high it should be on my to do list. (tires that don't f@#$ing vibrate over 60mph are first on the list)

these are the rear top hats for this suspension setup. the 7mm one is the one that Charlie did and I drew based off his measurements, and the 25.4mm is the one that I did after talking with him on spring location. I believe he used steel that was hard anodized for the 7mm while the 25.4mm was made from t6 6061 and was not coated. The centering step diameter may need to be modified very slightly depending on spring rate. I believe I turned mine slightly smaller than the print and the model show. I will measure them as soon as I get the rear apart again. Just measure the true I.D. of your spring before you make them or have them made.
Here is the dropbox link to blueprints and solid model of the hats. I saved them as a generic .IGES If you want a more specific file type lmk.

I also just noticed that there is a picture of the car that inspired all this craziness on your wall. Lol
