Recently just fitted some aftermarket springs on the RA Version 5 Linited, and am going to get a full 3D alignment done on Saturday.

Does anyone have any good advice as to what setting to go for to make the car handle the best :?: :?: (eg benign handing, sharp turn in, less twitchy etc) I have heard Group N setting etc banded about but what some advice form people whao have similar cars as I realise with the DCCD the handling of these cars are somewhat different to a normal STI etc...

Any help, advice greatly appreciated :D

Had my geometry set at Powerstation when they fitted the coilovers and can say it has eliminated any understeer...without fitting rollbars,uprated droplinks etc..Was told due to front helical diff on the sti ra version 5 cars that they do not understeer like uk/sti classic models..

Pavlo(zenperformance) suggested trying a rear roll bar but thought that was as far as needed too go,and the front droplinks where an uprated item on the ra as standard.

Can e-mail the settings from the printout that Powerstation dialed into car you if you need them. :)

Dont know if they would differ due to having coilovers or not.

Hi mate

Yeh, definately found a lot less understeer on this one compared to my previous WRX. Thats why I was wondering about setting as I don't want the place I am going to to just put it to UK setting and then its really snappy onto ovesteer or something.

Yeh, if you e-mail me the printout that would be great, I can then have a look at the setting compared to standard

Thanks
