The Prodrive settings on the front wheels are 1mm toe in, and up to 1 degree of negative camber.
On the rear, it's 1mm of toe in, and the camber is not adjustable.

Theses settings may wear your tyres out on the inside edge if you do a lot of motorway driving.

Dealers will recomend to go for between 0.5 to 0.7 degrees of negative camber for motorway use.

Try using the search facitity to find other posts on the subject and pick settings which will suit your style of driving / where you be using the car (A roads etc)

Cheers for that ST, mines is mostly motorway miles and the tyres are wearing off on the inside after about 6000miles, costing a bloody fortune. Also I cant seem to get the search to work.

Cheers again.

Does this apply to New Age Impreza's too?

I understood it didn't as the wheels do not toe out on cornering like the classic did, but some clarification would be good

James.

I had the Prodrive settings done on mine after about 2000 miles, and got 17k miles out of the first set of tyres and 16k out of the next set

Best change was when I got Powerstation to do the 4wd alignment and bumpsteer mod properly though

I've just had my adjusted today. I asked about the prodrive settings and was advised against it due to the additional wear on the tyres. In the end I had it set to the factory settings. Attached is the print off I received.

Question

I thought the camber settings were supposed to be the same left and right. The report above shows the front left at -0.58 degrees and the front right at -0.3 degrees, a difference of 0.28 degrees. Shouldn't they both be at 0 degrees (or -1 degrees for the Prodrive settings) ?
