Unhappy Tracking / Geometry Settings for MY03 WRX

Does anyone know what the toe in/out settings for the MY03 WRX is?

I have taken my car to a number of the usual suspects (Quik Fit, ATS etc.) to get it checked / adjusted after dinging a wheel on the kerb in the snow, but none of them have geometry data for the car.

Also, anyone know where I can get some wheel touch-up paint for the MY03 WRX 'gunmetal' coloured alloys?

Cheers.

Subaru don't do a touch up paint.........I asked already just in case.

Only suggest Halfords or similar for a paint stick.

Zero Toe front rear has only a couple of minutes.

On the front at least 1 degree of negative camber (mine is at -1.5 and does wonders for grip and steering feel - if not tyres) , maximum caster.
Rear = -1.25 to 1.75 negative camber.

Your probably better of at the dealer, and only some of them have the right equipment to get it right. Alternatively, go to TSL or Powerstation and get the Prodrive geometry settings, which are supposed to improve the cars handling considerably (not done it myself, but will when I fit Prodrive springs and 18" wheels ).

I had the same with my STi. Even the dealer didn't know, as they'd only just arrived. Called IM, and they said the settings could be found in the manual.

Took a while to find, but they were there.
