Specified Allignment Specs For WRX
Got my 03' WRX alligned today and need some info. They appeared to be uncertain about "specs" for WRX, and did come up with " specified ranges", although at the top of their computer sheet it read "Impreza/Outback 1993-2001. Can someone give me the "Specified Ranges" for a 03' WRX Sedan? Front [ Camber, Caster, Toe]
Rear [ Camber, Toe]
Thanks, Collins
Rear [ Camber, Toe]

Here are the specs for MY02 WRX sedan. If someone with MY03 chassis manual can double-check, you'll be in good shape.
Front [ camber -0º25' ±0º45',
caster 3º35' common difference ±0º45',
toe-in 0±3mm (0±0.12 in.) Each toe angle: ±0º07'30" (Total toe angle: ±0º15') ]
Rear [ camber -1º30' ±0º45',
toe-in -1±2mm (-0.039±0.079 in.) Each toe-in angle: ±0º07'30" (Total toe-in angle 0º±15') ]

WRX Specs
To WW, Thank You for your info. As I mentioned on the original thread, allignment was likely based on "outdated" data. I will call them today with your numbers. My reason for an allignment on a new WRX are my suspension mods; 1] Whiteline Antisway Bar [Rear]
2] Whiteline Rear Links
3] Whiteline Anti-lift Kit
4]Eibach Pro Kit Springs
5] 17" Montegi Wheels with 215/45/17 Dayton ZR tires
Thanks again to WW, Collins

Rear [ camber -1º30' ±0º45',
toe-in -1±2mm (-0.039±0.079 in.) Each toe-in angle: ±0º07'30" (Total toe-in angle 0º±15') ]
20mm stabilizer (anti-sway bar)
MY02 Non-turbo sedan:
Front [ camber -0º15' ±0º45',
caster 3º25' common difference ±0º45',

Here is what I would be thinking of, if I had your car and mods: Does your car have the same size wheels with the same offset as the WRX? Is the front anti-sway bar the same? Factory alignment settings for the WRX are a compromise between handling and tire wear. They lean towards conservatively benign understeering handling characteristics. Slightly more negative camber front and rear will probably be good for your car. Don't deviate from the toe-in settings, especially for the rear. Anything beyond this and you will have to seek advice from someone like an autocrosser who knows what works well on the street compared with factory settings.
