Had mine done after my service a couple of months ago. Noticed a difference straight away and they weren't that out of line to start with.

I had mine checked on Saturday as a bit of test to see if they had been set up correctly from the factory!
With 1300 miles on the clock it was veeeeeeeeeeery slightly out........
I had it all corrected and it made a lovely difference!
What a piece of kit!

Bibo & Mr Bush, anychance you could both post your final settings?
I'm genuinely interested to see if Xtreme set up your car, or use a more generic setting ala 'Prodrive' settings or use Subaru's tolerances.

It was set up for Subaru 07 - Pro-Drive
Hope this makes any sence!

Yep, top work...... finally got round to finishing off the stainless additions with a new H&S up pipe.... (might be a bit psychological, but feels more responsive) - i think the damp air helps too!!!!
also had a bit more camber dialled in as it was set to standard a month ago and i was told to try it out and report back for user-desired tweaking.
got a bit more turn in now and feels like it needs a track day
also knowlsey came out with me "nerves of steel" and gave me full co-driver instructions on a test drive. lol. "second gear here...big boy and then nail it as you approach the apex" on a road i'd never driven down...
His opening comment on the first bend was "Are you gonna drive it or look at it???"
very pleased, again.

£55.00 - £65.00 depending on what needs adjusting / shimming.
full on adjustment with camber bolts etc can be alot more....
what i had done was a neutral setting to start with, then gradually dialled in a bit more turn the last time... that way you get a comparision and understand more what is going on, rather than going from an out of spec reading straight to another "out-of-spec for a reason" reading.
does that make sense??

Most places charge around £100..... Xtreme/Mocom for full check and adjustment, which I believe is money well spent.....
I was charged £65, I'm not sure if that was because of the voucher scheme they had or because only the toe needed adjusting?
