Hi, has anyone got the standard subaru wheel alignment settings for a 95wrx saloon? Im getting a set of lowering springs fitted soon and my garage need the settings. thanks.

To book, (UK Turbo)

Camber front -0.25
Toe front 0 +/- 3mm or 0.12 degrees
Castor front (not adjustable) circa 3.05 degrees

Camber rear (not adjustable) 1.1 degrees (+/- 0.45)
Toe Rear 0 +/- 3mm or 0.12 degrees


Most would aim for more -ve camber at the front, circa 1 degree (or maximum equal if they can't get both to -1) with a small amount of toe in (say 0-0.25 degrees toe in) to get a little more grip/responce at the front.

Ok thanks very much. Would 1 degree negative camber wear the tyres on the inside much?

1 degree will start to just put some extra wear on the inside, that is why I suggest the slight toe in change (the aim being to avoid any toe out) to correct it, my old Ford was running -1.75 and trashed the first tyres quite quickly, after I went to 0.25 toe in the wear evened out and the next tyres lasted the normal (for me!) 15K miles.

How does the toe in affect the wear? sounds like a plan though if it works!!

-ve camber causes the inside edeg of the tyre to wear more than the outer, toe in causes the tyre to deflect so the outer edge wears more than the inner, get the balance right and you get an even wear.

My Ford was set up by Silverline in Warwick who explained it all to me at the time (which I've since checked via other sources) they originally suggested the toe in (and amount) to stop the premature wear I had.
