Default Fsti / Impreza Sti camber bolts

Hi I have an fsti , recently fitted bc coilovers and a slight drop 3/4 inch to an inch , I adjusted the standard front camber bolts to max negative camber any one know how many degrees that gives you , I'm looking to avoid tyre wear as it's just for rose use , any one know a good front camber setting , plus is there any point doing tracking as that's not been touched ,the standard suspension set up is the same as the Sti Impreza new age , Thanks in advance for replies

Yep, if you've changed the suspension then you'll need the whole lot set back up, tracking, camber, caster, toe on all 4 wheels. Caster may not be adjustable I can't remember.


You will probably need to fit additional camber bolts front & rear to the car to get it set up correctly. Have a look at the whiteline website for part numbers. Very useful.


I set mine to negative 1.3 camber all round, almost neutral toe and trackling neutral. The car does benefit from slightly inward toe settings at the rear if possible.


Have a look at the 2 forester forums for details:

At 1.3 is the wear ok ? , caster as you say can not be changed , im sure your advice is good , I will probably leave the rears alone I'm just keeping it simple , my main thoughts are the front set up based on purely un spirited road driving

Wear is no issue at all with these settings. I'm running even more aggressive settings on my Impreza of -1.5 front and -2.0 rear and never had any tyre wear issues to date. Lasted just fine but handling was massively improved.


Get both the front & rears set up as it makes a massive difference.
