Project 2006 STi

I've actually never heard of that. Might be worth looking into for sure. I do need to get it aligned though, I'm not sure when the last time it was done, if ever.

give it a look. its cheap (very!), not difficult, and if you need to get it aligned anyway, its a good time to do it. its basically just a cheap way to substitute an anti-lift kit i.e. aftermarket lower control arm rear bushing that gains caster. or, just buy an anti-lift kit from Whiteline or whoever, and enjoy the stiffer bushing while you're at it.

(i wouldn't add that spacer the OP did, though)

i run maxed stock camber via the camber bolts (like....-1.5 wooooo :roll: ) but with 0 toe all around, my tire wear has been awesome. i do alot of highway driving though.

here's some reading on improving the STi's steering axis inclination geometry with better caster, due to the poor camber curve. for autocross where you're looking at big steering inputs where caster really comes into play, this may be something helpful. i'm not up to speed on the auto-x classing rules though, so you may not be able to make use of much of this without being bumped.
