Since I have had the front suspension refurbished the car pulls slightly to the left. It needs the alignment sorting and the geometry setting up.
What settings would be ideal for fast road ? Who can I go to ?
I live in the Forest of Dean so ideally not too far away.
When the rear has been refurbished I will have a full geo set up done.

 

Take your own settings to anyone who uses equipment like the Hunters, its down to the settings,
plenty of threads on actual settings, Prodrive and Whiteline have many versions, not sure of car so cant supply any.

 

Dealers would have Prodrive settings which can be achieved without camber bolts etc.


My specialist has Prodrive settings, but that's in Newbury.

 

As said on your other thread,Peter Cambridge at PCA Dynamics.
He comes highly recommended and used to work at Prodrive.

 

OK i will try and get in touch with him.

 

I have found the Prodrive geometry settings on the RB320 forum, i dont know if they are any good to me.

 

Do PCA have their own workshops ?

 

Peter will hire Protyres set up at Warwick on Saturday mornings and he is excellent . It was about £150 for me

 

Is it worth having it done before the rear suspension has been refurbished?

 

I'd wait till its all done.
You could remove something and not quite put everything back exactly how it was and it could throw it all out.

 

My car will be taken off the road next week for the rear suspension to be refurbished along with all four Bilsteins.It will then need setting up. Is it just a four wheel alignment or is there more too it ?
Car in question is a 04 WRX

 

take your car to simon @ chevron motorsport in stafford and let him set it up for you

 

Here's all you need to know

Once you have assimilated all that, take it to an auto centre which has a Hunter or similar and tell the operator the settings you're thinking of. Shouldn't cost you more than £50

Chevron will charge you hundreds

 

Thank you Sir

 

Bloody hell there is a lot to take in,too much for me .

 

There is a lot there - that's a pretty comprehensive thread

There's a few factors which can justify tweaking one way or another - type of use the car will see, your driving style, car set-up etc - but broadly speaking getting everything equal side to side is the first big step followed by (again broadly speaking) a degree or deg and a half negative camber all 'round, and a little toe-in front and rear (sometimes referred to as the 'Prodrive Settings'), so 4 to 8 mins toe-in

If your auto centre has a Hunter system they should have a decent database of various Impreza models

 

It’s not used a great deal,a bit of fast road plus 3 or 4 hillclimbs per year.
It’s on 18 inch wheels
Bilstein b14 coilovers
Whiteline bushes front and rear
Perrin arb
Does the above make any difference to the standard WRX settings ?

 

In which case, I would max out the front (and rear) camber with the top clevis strut cam bolt. Should be able to get at least one and a half degrees front. Make sure your garage tech wobbles the hub in the slackened clevis bolts to eek all the movement he can, both front and rear as he may say you can't adjust rear camber

Or, you could invest in camber bolts and have the tech fit them while he's doing the alignment for front 2 deg's negative

 

Yet another question.
Is it best to fit adjustable rear lateral arms or just fit new bushes to the standard Wrx arms ? If I have to buy new which are the best ?
