Have Avia set your geometry to match your driving style, if you trail or left foot brake run -0.5 chamber difference between front and rear with rear toe in set to 0. With chamber set to -2.5 at the front and -2.0 on the rear, as it should make the car fairly neutral. If you wish to dial in more oversteer keep the same -2.5 front chamber and run -1.0 on the rear with some slight toe in, as getting a Subaru to stop understeering really requires a stiffer rear anti roll bar with solid drop links and poly bushes. Then your left with the body roll and things start to become expensive.

Llandow is really hard on the nearside tyre mind. The track is very abrasive, combined with all the right turns, it batters the tyre..

Upgraded rear ARB would sort the understeer out a bit. Llandow does kill the front left though. Unless it's pi$$ing down

My rears were well used. But that's another issue, oversteer.
