Default Camber issue

was at Elite yesterday to get the geometry checked & set up on the scoob... MY06 STi. It was , although within tollerence a bit out....so decided to set it as my old one to the Prodrive settings..... big problem.....

..... the camber bolts would only allow a max of -30' each side not the -1.15' I had before.....pants!! anyone know if this typical on the JDM or just someting particular to mine??

Would have thought that the only diff on JDM to UK if anything would be the damper / spring rate.... anyone know?

Also can anyone advise if there are any lowering springs that suit this car? Do Prodrive do MY06 springs and wold they fit the JDM?

That's fairly typical for the later cars, you'll not get to anywhere near 1 deg neg at std rideheight. Our spring kit fits all 06MY STi and you should get much nearer the 1 deg at the rideheight they give.

Thanks for that Mike. Spoke to dealer today he tells me that there's nothing listed for the MY06 prodrive springs....are they the same as the '04 / '05 ones?

Thanks
