All Impreza's have camber bolts on the strut; it's the upper bolt - loosen the lower one and rotate the upper one to suit.

I'd want in the region of another degree of neg camber up front personally, that set up will feel ok at normal speeds but as soon as you give it beans down a country road it'll be understeery as **** you should also have more caster than that with an ALK I get that much with a standard wrx.
You need a Subaru specialist to set it up or do some reading and learn how to get the extra camber and caster your self, what you have now is pretty close to boggo and they ain't no good boggo.

Tubbs set up is about spot on camber wise for a road car if you don't like an over active back end, I'd do the caster mod and run closer to 5 personally, should be a nice drive at sensible speeds on a daily but more toe and caster would make it better on track.
Geo set up really does depend what the car is being used for and what sort of characteristics you like when pushing on, in a road car it's always a bit of a compromise.
I'd also say tubbs can adjust his line with some extra gas, it's not far off my winter set up.

For totb I'd be more concerned with toe (7) and caster (5) especially if as you say it's a twisty course, more camber won't really come into it until your in 3rd above 70mph on a bend, up to that point it will be a dis-advantage.

It's toe that really wears your tyres not so much camber unless your doing loads of motorway miles (popular mis-conseption) but too much camber on a road car just feels skittish at low speeds and not planted straight ahead at motorway speeds, as the suspension isn't loaded so not so good for winter either.

Its on fast road set up at the minute but will be going to 17 inch rims and a few minor suspension mods shortly.
It feels quite planted but the tyres aren't really great in damp conditions

Very true, I think you'll like 17's just make sure you pick a tyre with a stiff side wall. I'm currently experimenting with tyre pressures which is a whole new ball game as well, just 2 psi difference changes the characteristics, can't wait to get some summer rubber on and let the fun begin again, I've had about 6 different geo set ups in the last year. god job it's only 15 /20 quid at my local tyre place doing most of it myself.
