I'll take a look thanks. Speaking of 'you get what you pay for!' Has anyone had any experience of the cheap carbon fibre rear spoilers on eBay? I need a new spoiler brake light and for about 180 quid I could replace the whole spoiler with a carbon one complete with new brake light. I guess the quality is naff and will discolour sunlight or something...?

I got one of the STI style ones from ebay in carbon fibre seems ok its a 99.9% perfect fit and the job is a bit fiddly, you will need some very basic wiring up skills as the light doesn't come with an oem clip also the rear window washer is a bit of a faff and you will need a hot glue gun or use silicone sealant to hold the insert plate in.

Geometry Settings
Hi all,
Getting some new boots fitted today so seems like a good time to get then geometry checked and reset.
Back in the old days we always referred to "Prodrive Setting" can't remember exactly what they were, but the tyre and wheel sizes have changed dramatically since the days of the classic Impreza.
Are there any specific setting people are using on their hatches?

Not really you just need someone who knows how to setup a car and explain your intended use and what kind of handling you prefer.
All cars are different due to tolerances so it may not be possible to exactly implement a specific setting. Also depends what hardware is available (camber bolts, adjustable top mounts etc)

Ideally settings that introduce a bit more front end confidence, the old cars felt much heavier on the steering responses. These hatches grip no problem but don't feel as if it is going to, they need a great leap of faith, well that is what I feel anyway so settings to increase the feel from the front in the corners would be great.

That's more to do with the steering, there tends to be a lack of feel with them.
Litchfield can revise the steering feel, not sure if other places can do that also.

Powerstation & Litchfield will revalve your power steering to increase feel and both offer full geometry and handling packs. Hope to get mine done soon.

There are recommended setting as had mine set up when I had it and I'm sure they will be in this thread (between 2009 and 2010) somewhere, IIRC they were the same if not very similar to the old prodrive ones.
Note sure where you are located but Elite in essex did mine and think they had them on file.

To any lowered hatch owners ,,, what have you done about the headlight angel adjuster as its set by the ride hight ? And wouldn't it assume you now have a full boot and ajust the headlights to low ?

But isn't the sensor on the rear so when the car is full it doesn't point up and blind people ,, I know when speaking to Bob rawle about his hawk he had cheveron move the mountings for the sensor so they worked as they should as they went into default and were too low and was just thinking has anyone else had to do the same
