Default Sti 03 inner front tyre wear

have had my Sti03 for a while now and have noticed the front tyres wearing on the insides.

does anyone know the correct suspensions settings to stop this happening.

would prefer to go to a local indepandent 4 wheel alignment company but they need to know caster / camber / toe in / out whatever can be adjusted

cheers

best places for allignment are people like scoobyclinic, tsl, powerstation.

My sti05 doesnt wear the tyres inside, even when the allignment was out i couldnt see any accessive scrubbing anywhere, i allway keep my tyres slightly over inflated; fronts at 34, rears at 31 and do them regulary (once a month) maybe its the way i drive, looks like im going to get close to 20k out of the RE70's whereas some only get 9k

My boss ALWAYS wears his tyres on the inside regardless of car (hes just had a blowout on a honda type r rear from inside tyre wear) i can only think he runs his tyre too low and drive to quick (120mph+ regular) as he only pumps them up when he SEES there looking low.

Hope this helps in some way

I think my allignment cost £60 at scooby clinic but i cant be cirtain as i had other work done there too.

my sti03 also scrubbed off the outer edges as well as the inners. the inners were much worse though. a trip to scoobyclinic solved the problem. full alignment set up for about £80 + vat

Could go even higher on tyre pressures. I'm using 39f/35r on 03STi on 18s with prodrive springs, ALK and ARB and SC geo and wear is lovely and even (get 24k/set on GSD3s). Ride is hard but grip is good.

If the fronts are wearing on the inner edge then you have too much camber for your driving style, reduce this or drive harder
