I'm needing an allignment done on the RSTi and I want to get some ideas. Talking to some people (mainly brentt) I'm thinking:

2 degrees negative camber up front
1 dergree negative in back
.05 degrees of tow (not sure if AWD sets tow on all 4 or just the front wheel)

How does that sound for a DD/autocross car running azenis.

As long as you don't run azenes at all times you should be fine.

I think those are pretty decent specs. little conservative for me...

I want to say put a little more camber, like -2.3 front, -1.2 rear...
Me and john ran 2.5 front 1.5(maybe even a little more) rear with our KWs and i think that the 1.5+ rear kinda causes the car to get a little too tail happy here and there, so when i set up my STi im gonna try something a little less aggressive.(also i asked some people on NASIOC a while back about what setting they ran and it was all around 2.0-2.5front and 1.0-1.5 rear)

As far as wearing the tires more with that set up... i never notice them getting torn up on the inside edge any more than the outside, so i think it would be fine. (you auto-x enough that the outside of the tire is gonna get beaten up to even the wear pretty good.)

For toe, I say go for that .05 toe out up front, maybe even more. Find out what the factory allows and if they allow up to .1 degrees toe out then try that out. I never got to run my car long with that aggressive toe setting so I cant tell you what it will do for wear...
For the rear keep the toe straight.

I'm -3.0 camber front, -1.4 camber rear, 1/8in toe out front. also -1 caster.. but you can't adjust that either.
