Don't over-sweat the geo. You'll see differing opinions, it's actually very simple. The Impreza has a forgiving chassis, but there are a few essentials to ensure:

Firstly, a proper 4 wheel, preferably laser (Hunter style system) set-up will transform a poorly aligned car. And while this sounds obvious, it amazes me how many folk will for example fit different shocks/coils/lowering springs etc and then run 'round on these without any alignment, saying they'll get it done later (this is most certainly directed at you btw)

Negative camber all-round - Varying amounts, more front or rear work OK (obviously balanced) - I've ran it both ways on classics and new age and both work (to a degree, generally more front than rear)

Toe. This is where I would always say either IN, or neutral if you really want. IN (4 to 8 mins a corner) gets the car turning and rotating well at any speed above pedestrian. Below it may feel twitchy, but once flowing, having each corner at a slight advantage to turning makes for nice responsive drive

Alignment is inextricably linked to not only good handling, but also to your style of driving

I would recommend becoming friendly with an alignment garage with a good set-up - a Hunter - dialling in a base setting, trying it, seeing if you want to change a characteristic and changing the settings. Your garage should not charge much for tweaking, once a base is set. It's this experience which helps to understand what the different settings make to your car with its set-up, and to you, with your driving style

I have used Chemix, Wordsley for 20 years now for all my Scooby's. Their Hunter database has all manner of Impreza settings, but most consist of neg camber and a little toe-in. Everything else is a variant on the theme

Plenty of threads around. Here's one to get you started - it's a bit OTT really, but has the Peter Cambridge stuff in
