Default Apparently

there is some play with the bolts but only in the existing holes and it aint much to be honest.

There are camber bolts on the back as standard these give a limited range of adjustment. A decent 4 wheel alignment place will also have access to aftermarket camber bolts that give more scope for adjustment. Needless to say camber bolts allow you to adjust ...... camber!

You can also adjust rear tracking by lengthening or shortening one of the lower arms.

The impreza is one of the few cars where there are good options for adjusting the rear wheels.

Whiteline and STi (?) do adjustable stuff, don't forget the ARB's can be adjustable too.

Martin, The rear axle lower radius rods have a snail cam adjustment as standard on Impreza, that is how you can adjust the rear axle toe -in.

You can see them if lay on the floor and look at the rear diff mounting cross member.

After market camber adjuster bolts are available from Eibach or White Line etc., to be able to reset cambers for optimum handling.

We can do that for you if you want a prfessional set up.

Kind regards David

PS see the thread titled £200.00 for tracking wtf for a delighted customers opinion on our settings.
