imprezas do understeer anyway.
Get a good 4 wheel alignment done then see how it feels.Use the search function for suspension mods other people have done.

i expect your front camber angle is out if the shocks have been changed and then camber not set up , you may have tire wear on the inner or outer edges , get a full geometry set up done to prodrive spec !

I hope Snap On knows if not just get a 'normal' set up and give that a go
I've gone for rear droplinks at the mo and that's helped (plus it was cheap and easy to fit)

If the alignment etc doesn't help, fit a Whiteline anti-rollbar and steel droplinks, available from Demon Tweeks for about £150 in total.

Prodrive settings -
front camber -1.3/4 , 1.0 toe in
rear camber -1.1 , 1.0 toe in

Whiteline settings -
front camber -1.5 , 0.0 toe
rear camber -1.25 , 1.0 toe in

this is what i found on previous thread search and had mine set to these prodrive settings since changing my shocks and fitting eibach springs , much better now and even tyre wear ! (classic settings)
