what camber should i run?
I am doing a alignment next week and just seeing what you guys would recommend for my set up. the car is not daily driving but its a weekend car that i want to track maybe twice a month but i do want an aggressive setup.
So my suspension upgrades so far is a whiteline ALK(race), Tein Flex coilovers, perrin rear control arms, and i wanted to see what you guys recommend for camber front and rear for my06sti.
right now its -1.7 rear.
-Thanks.

It really depends. My car is set-up for auto-x. Bunch of tid-bits here and there. Running -3 front, -1 rear, and zero toe around.
My previous alignment was -2 front, -1 rear, and zero toe around.
Subaru's tend to understeer, so... adding positive camber to the rear probably will help with handling. If I remember correct, the parameter for camber for the rear for my car is anything between -1.3 and -1.7.
Hope that helps.

so you both have helped me narrow down my choices.

I don't have any forms of caster adjustments... so... yeah...
Personally, I would run a little more positive camber in the rear, but once again... really depends what you are doing and/or what you want to do.

go for -3.5-4 front and -2-2.5 rear if you want some aggressive camber lol.. but you might also want to gain some positive caster, somewhere around 5-7* positive caster

Why so much negative camber in the rear? Why so much in the front? Trying to tuck in your hella flush wheels?
just for reference here's what whiteline recommends:
street, mild, and race
front Camber (4) - degrees -0.75 to -1.25 -1.25 to -2.25 -2.25 to -4
front Caster - degrees max max max
front Toe - mm/side 0 0 0
rear Camber (4) - degrees -1 to -1.25 -1.25 to -2 -2 to -3
rear Caster - degrees n/a n/a n/a
rear Toe - mm/side 0 -0.5 -1
street, mild, and race
front Camber (4) - degrees -0.75 to -1.25 -1.25 to -2.25 -2.25 to -4
front Caster - degrees max max max
front Toe - mm/side 0 0 0
rear Camber (4) - degrees -1 to -1.25 -1.25 to -2 -2 to -3
rear Caster - degrees n/a n/a n/a
rear Toe - mm/side 0 -0.5 -1
