Default STI 8 Alignment settings

Hi,
I have had my alignment checked and adjusted at Elite in Rainham. The technician said he has set the alignment to prodrive settings. This is what the printout shows:

Front Left:
Camber: -1.20
Caster: 3.36
Toe: 0.05

Front Right
Camber: -1.20
Caster: 3.24
Toe: 0.04

Rear Left:
Camber: -1.42
Toe: 0.04

Rear Right:
Camber: -1.11
Toe: 0.04

The car is fitted with Prodrive springs and 19" OZ Superleggras, I am happy with the way it handles with the new settings. However i would like to have the rear camber sorted out as it is not equal left to right. Is there a rear camber kit available for an 04 STI?
Any suggestions/tips on what settings to use for the rear camber?

Thanks
Harry

Perhaps it's close enough ?
You could fit Whiteline lateral links and a lock kit, but it may be overkill for road use.

Yours seems to average out at 1.27 at the rear +/- 0.15..... this may be within the specs ?

The settings are within the specs its just that one side has more camber than the other, but if it doesn't make too much of a difference i will leave it as it is.

Thanks

On the front, I might worry, but the back wheels are only there to stop the bumper scrapping along the ground....

LOL
