are these geometry settings correct ?
I have a problem with my 05 sti. Had a geometry setting done not long ago and it is still not ok.
I'm a complete idiot when it comes to read the angles and stuff, so can anybody tell me if these are correct. I got them from the paper imprint when the settings were done.
Front:
camber: left -0.46 deg, right -0.44 deg,
toe: -0.01 deg on both sides
caster: 4.62 deg left, 4.47 deg right
rear:
camber: left -1.24 deg, right -1.44 deg
toe: left 0.02 deg, -0.01 deg
Checked with the values from my owners manual and those are different, also they show exactly the same values for left and right.
Someone please advise.

In a perfect world they would be the same, however use and abuse wears the components and you get some variation. Yours look equal side to side, which is more important.
Was it a Scoob specialist or a "Kwik Fit" job, mine was done by an expert and he set it up superbly just a touch of over-steer out of corners, and a sharper turn-in !

P.S. Can you add the "book" settings for comparison ?

It was not doneby a subaru specialist, as there are none around where I live.... so I went to a "specialist" who can set up any car.
The book settings are:
front and rear toe 0 mm
camber front -0.25 deg, rear -1.30 deg
These are all the settings written in the book.
