hi all i have found a garage in somerset that specilize in doing the laser allignment and they seem to have all the knowledge in it, the owner has a evo and rallys alot so knows what hes about i think. Spoke to the chap yesterday and he said we can set it up how ever you want or keep it normal (subaru default i pressume he means by "normal".) so what is prffered by most and does any one have print outs or figures i can cast my eye over.
I am interested in the prodrive setting but hear that kills tyres and at £500 a throw!!!!.
so any other ideas, thanks all in advance.

I also have the Powerstation fast-road setup. Yes, the inside edge of the tyres do wear quicker than the rest of the tyre.

Can't remember the settings though...

The fronts are definitely toed in.

hardsy555

do you have a print out gaz?

GazTheHat

Somewhere yes, probably in the folder.

If you're worried about tyre wear though, i doubt that setup will be your friend.

I thought my tyres were OK, kept an eye on them. Then got a puncture on one of the rears, replaced them, but got them to put them on the fronts. Good bit of luck there, they were down to the threads!! Whilst the rest of the tyre lOOked OK.

I got over 20K out of may last set of tyres (T1-R's) running Powerstation geometry (T25 kit). Whilst the fronts do wear on the inner edge, rotating f-r every 6k helped even it out.

It must be noted that this 'uneven' wear is a result of running a fast road setup when you really don't drive hard enough often enough or do lots of m'way type driving..!

Having neg camber at the front is great when you're blatting down the twisties, but will result in inside front wear in a straight line/steady driving..!

So basically it's a compromise, but I'm happy running same setup with my new tyres, even though 80% of my driving is quite sedate. It's well worth it for the other 20%..

Just need to keep an eye on the 'hidden' inner shoulder from time to time..!

i had these settings done at Mocom Racing, i think it's a pretty conservative set up and unfortunately the car had already been done before i bought it so i wasn't able to compare a before and after.
the car drives and handles nice and i've not seen any sign of wear differences. but i only do about 3-4k a year on each set of wheels and rotate at each swap, so maybe that helps!

Does anyone know of a place that does the laser alignment in sheffield or nearby?cos mine have been wearing on the inside rear?

GazTheHat

True and mine is more like 95%.

It doesn't get blatted that often at all. Waiting for the dryer weather and my ***** to grow before trying it in it's current state of tune.

Limited inside wear if you keep going round corners quick
