Just a thought fella, why not use a garage who know what the settings should be in the first place, this would lead you to believe that they have experience in setting up imprezas

As above: take it to someone who knows Imprezas

Mine went to Carnetix. 100 miles from me.

Spent half an hour discussing what I wanted from the car, how I drove it, what sort of tyre wear I was willing to put up with and explaining all he could do, and what he couldn't.

Then he did the geo, then took me out in it and then I drove it. What a difference.

Best £100+ I spent on it.

Edited to say: they are 120 miles and 2.5 hours from you.

If he knows his stuff you will be ok, as stated just be honest with your type of driving to get the best set up, if its not right now, once done it will transform the car

and make sure your tyres are in decent nick because if they are badly worn due to improper alignment you'll find the car wont feel right when setup, even though it all says its straight & true on the print out it wont feel right driving. thats from a personal experience

More front camber angle, better cornering, and less understeer.
