Further to advice given by a number of members I have now had the alignment modified.
Interestingly enough what was discovered was that the existing geometry was way outside Subaru factory recommendations!
To qualify the following the WRX is my99-2000 kms on the clock.
Tyre pressures-46psi !
Before After
front right camber + 25' - 29'
front left camber - 45' - 48'
front right toe + 05'(in) + 04'
front left toe - 02'(out) + 08'
rear right camber - 36' - 36'
rear left camber - 2deg 03' -1 06'
rear right toe - 07' (out) + 08'
rear left toe + 24'(in) + 09'

1mm toe-in is the recommended-which translates to 15'for a 16 inch wheel

The modified settings are not what I requested-but are an improvement on the original set up.

I was present during the measurements and advise that the front camber can be varied somewhat by orientating the upper hub securing bolts.They are non-concentric ,which in turn permits the hub to rotate, albeit marginally, about the lower securing bolt.
The rears although having a similar securing assembly, do not employ non-concentric bolts so to achieve any adjustment a minor modification to the bolt holes was required.
