Default are there 'fast road' suspension settings for UK 05 sti?

thinking about getting my geometry checked/altered to make sure everything is happy and was wondering if there was a fast road set up like the prodrive settings i had on my classic?

Cool

The new STis with revised chassis don't need to run as much camber as the classics did, best bet is to discuss your requirements with whomever is setting it up.

Exactly, the new STI has a lot more caster than previous models and combined with the rear plated diff turns much better.
Prodrive suggests toe in rear with his springs and full camber front but this also depends from your driving style/preferences.

Had my 05 done at Powerstation a few weeks ago - they have at least two setups - as I do a lot of Mway miles I had the slightly more conservative setting, if you mainly do A and B roads they have another setup thats more harsh on the inside of the tyres, more camber.

Hi Hoskib - not sure if the settings are made public by Powerstation, might be worth sending a PM to Fuzz (Andy at Powerstation) , maybe they will give them to you.

Rear camber about -1,30 mins
front camber around -1,00 mins if you do motorway miles regularly.
Increasing front camber to around -1,30 mins for a fast road setup but expect slight increase in inside edge wear rate.
front toe about +0,03 mins
Rear toe around +0,03 mins
More neutral on the rear (0,00) if you want the rear end a bit looser.

Everyone has a different on opinion but these seem to work well.
