Like I said go negative 2.0 up front and negative 1.5 in the rear. Here is the trick to not wearing out your tires prematurely. 0 toe and 0 cross caster
I said in the beginnig that other suby owners have done this before us and that's what I learned from. Been at this setting for a year and a half and tire wear is normal for the way I bend corners. Understeer SUCKS and Oversteer is much more controllable.

Thanks for the advice . I think I just might go with a setup like that and trust you. I'll still keep an eye on my tire wear though. And....

With the WRX you want to get a bit more negative camber up front for better turn in, more caster for reducing the understeer, and a stiff rear sway bar for back end rotation.
I have wagon spec Cobb front and rear sway bays, and the rear is set at the stiffest and the front end feels 100x better then stock.
Just don't go for the slammed look, it's no good for speed bumps.

how do you like those sways. They look really nice. I had heard they had fitment issues. I was leaning toward whitelines set up. I have their rear mounts.

my buddy has whiteline front and rears with sti suspension and front camber plates on his 05 wagon, and he loves the sways he said they make all the difference
just my 2 cents

Yea I will be going to GST to get them installed with camber bolts in the rear, and I will then head over to auto innovations after an hour or so of driving to settle things in (as per GST's recommendation) to get my alignment done. The coilovers arrived and they look sexy as hell . I am just waiting for GST to get the camber bolts in. I'll keep you guys posted with how things go. Excited .
