Does anyone out there know if the recommended geometry settings in the FAQ work for an Impreza STI IV? (If not does anyone have any recommended settings?)

Mine would only go to 1 -ve camber, but it has helped reduce understeer, but it is still very clearly there, particularly on wet roundabouts.

The settings I had done on my Type-R were 1.6mm toe-in and 1.5 -ve camber front, parallel toe-in rear. I had them done at Micheldever tyres, near Basingstoke.

I don't know what the effect on tyre wear will be, but the handling of the car is transformed - much less understeer, and more precise cornering.
