Okay, I've heard a few other WRX drivers mention that a performance alignment makes a really big difference so I scheduled an appointment at Custom Alignment in Mountain View as I've heard the name m

Factory alignment specs are notoriously broad. Your car can can be "in spec" but be nowhere near consistent, let alone anything approaching what is good for autocrossing. When aligning for autox yet

custom alignment might have some data from other AWD autocrossers. the rules for AWD alignments may differe from the traditional ideas for FWD and RWD. -james c OSP - Often Speaking Proudly

Thanks all, especially Michael. There's no caster adjustments on the WRX so I don't have to worry about that. There's camber and toe on the front, and toe on the rear. From the factory the car mostly

I thought that caster stabilized the steering by creating a self-centering force. I would think that less caster would make the car more twitchy. Some Miata drivers who traded off their caster to get

more positive caster increases the self-centering force, stabilizing the more importantly, (in my double a-arm suspension anyway), more positive caster increases the rate of negative camber gain unde

Well I'm glad I opened my big mouth! I guess I'll keep my +7 degrees caster. And if the tire wear is even at -1.5 camber, what can I do to desensitize the steering? The underdrive pulleys helped a bi

Set the front more towards toe in. If you've got toe out, use less toe out. If you've got toe in, use more toe in. What I wouldn't do to get +7 degrees caster and -1.5 degrees caster at the same time

there are a number of things that can result in twitchy freeway steering. other than an alignment out of desired spec: 1. too high tire pressure 2. too much front toe-out 3. bump steer 4. too much sw

You can install a valve to reduce assist? That's cool... I wonder what the pros and cons are between that and an u/d pulley for the pump? -Dan

I can't really determine what this may say about you and your driving, James. I am, however, concerned that I agreed to ride in your OSP (Overly Spine Pounding?) car without the benefit of a roll bar
