Default MY04 STi alignment settings

I think I am having problems with my alignment settings.
I would appreciate your feedback on your settings for the MY04 STi.

Should I max out negative camber in the front?
what about the rear?

What camber are you using and do you have completely parallel wheels or -1mm toe out in the rear as some people suggest?

What are the factory settings?

thank you very much

Max neg camber all round, be careful with rear caster as toe out will make it more tail-happy.

Usualy on STI you don't need toe out rear as it is already tail-happy, just max camber front with factory rear.
It all depends from your driving style, read the technical articles from Whiteline's site.

I have just taken may car out on the track for the first time now that all the suspension components have been fitted.

I have the following geometry (using camber bolts only):
Front -2.5 Deg
Rear -2.0 Deg
I currently do not have any rear toe out as the car feels quite neutral.

Also fitted is:
Whiteline Group 4 Coil overs (I belive they are made by AST)
Front anti roll bar (apologies but I forget the size)
Rear 24mm anti roll bar

Hope this helps.
