Hi guys, what alignment are you using for your Subarus?

I would do an exhaustive search on all the forums and just make some calls but I have a huge project at work and don't have the time...alignment appointment is in the morning. What I have found is maxing out negative camber in the front and dialing 1-2 toe in (F) and 1 degree of toe in for the rear. Just what I have found so far.

I have a WRX with TEIN HG Gravel suspension and everything else is stock. Ride height looks about standard for a WRX.

Thanks so much in advance.

Eli

Eli, TOE OUT in the rear? You want "insta-rotate". Doubtless the stuff moves toward toe out under stress, I can't imagine actually wanting toe OUT (front or rear actually), unless you were want to play tight rally cross or go drifting.

I told the shop to set toe at zero and I'll go test a little with it, then go on from there. My guy said 1.5 neg camber might be a little much in the front, I was under the impression that was just right?

Thanks for the help guys

None. And that's fine. He will set it to what I tell him to though.

0 static toe! There's enough dynamic toe changes as it is. Car will turn in just fine even with stock swaybars. And 1.5- all around sounds about right.

Thank you, I will post my settings they put the car to later. I told them to go close to stock, I would drive it, then adjust accordingly.
