Or learn to do it yourself is the best bet, Saves you lots of ££££ and like I've found is very quick to do after a few goes. And very accurate and repetable.

Would love to learn how to do it myself.

Are there any good websites / links to explanations showing how?

Cheers

Loads just do a search.

Tools I use for camber and toe

Metal 30cm ruler
4lb red fishing line
X4 height adjustable Jack stands
X4 slip plates ( vinyl floor tiles with grease between them)
steering wheel support ( I used a length of metal placed through both front window then zip tied to wheel)
Your car track widths (in user manual)
mm to degrees conversion table
And the flatest surface possible.


Most fiddly part is setting the fishing line parallel to the chassis centre line, but after a few goes it can be done in minutes.
All the cars adjustment can be reached easily enough on the ground so no need for a lift. But may want to make sure your tie rods and rear toe adjusters are not seized before hand.

I may do a write up with pictures next time I do a adjustment.

I would 100% be investigating whether or not components are worn and in need of replacement before having a "fast road" alignment, especially if it is at standard settings and other same-shape imprezas you have or had do not have the same behaviour.
