hi can anyone recommend geometry setting for a my99 turbo ive heard you can get prodrive setting but it can cause increased tyre wear on the inside, is there the normal settings my car seems to wearing heavily on the inside but have at least 5mm on the outside so i think my trackings off

Best bet is to do a search on here and on the 22b bbs. Once you have a bunch of settings go along to somewhere local that can offer 4-wheel laser alignment and ask their advice.

Geometry, like other suspension changes can be very individual. What works for one car (and driver) may not necessarily work for you.

I felt the same way; tyres wearing on inside edges, a little too much understeer for my liking and a floaty feeling on high-speed straights. I went along with a list of "recommended" settings and found that my car was only slightly out from std and that the 1mm toe-in I "thought" I wanted was already their and the reason my inside edges were wearing.

I've changed the car to run 0mm toe-in/out, but the camber has been adjusted to give max negative.

I was a bit sceptical, but the car feels much more stable at high-speed and the understeer has reduced substantially.

Ozzy, I thought that Imprezas ran at 0 degree toe as standard?

Yes, they do AFAIK.

The rest of the geo wasn't far off std, but I "thought" I wanted to run the Prodrive recommeneded geo (hence the 1mm toe-in) and found it was already dialled in. My car's a MY99 RB5, so unless it was like that when it left Prodrive it's been changed sometime. I certainly don't ever recall asking for it and I've owned it from new.
