Hi,

I want to get my geometry set up, is there a preferred set up for road use?

The car is a 2010 Litchfield type 20, so coil overs, uprated arb, poly bushed, jdm sti based. I believe Litchfield made geometry alterations as part of the package? I also think it’s sitting too low.

Thanks in advance

Given Litchfield developed it I would speak to them and find out the original settings, they were pretty well regarded cars when they were launched.

@ST-X Ive found that they are not really interested when I called. Hopefully it was just that particular person, I’ve sent a request for the specs to them.

That's a shame, and goes against what a few friends have said about dealing with them in the past.

They have moved on and don't bother with Subaru any more unfortunately.

These settings tend to work well in newage (and not only) Subarus: https://www.scoobynet.com/wheels-tyr...l#post11492551

id be careful with newage settings on a hatch the rear suspension setup behaves differently - on a newage under compression the rear toe (out) will increase slightly, on the hatch its the opposite. ill see can i dig out the article about it


EDIT: Articles - pics are gone but interesting enough read

Thanks, I'll have a read.
I had Peter Cambridge align mine and it seems like a massive amount of toe was added per rear wheel, something like 7 minutes from memory, your above finding would explain why.

So do we have any known good alignment from Chevron or similar on a hatch that can be shared for the OP?

Here are some OEM settings plus Pro-R

How mine (2008 20th anniversary STi with S206 suspension) has been setup from Peter Cambridge:
-0.30/0.45 camber up front(we couldn't get it equal unfortunately)
+7 minutes toe in per wheel up front

-1.47/-1.04 camber at the rear
+10 minutes toe in per wheel at the rear

I'd prefer to have equal camber left to right and get more camber up front.
