Default alignment settings

hey guys installed the following on my99 wrx
20mm fromt sway bar
22mm rear sway bar(currently installed on the firmest setting)
heavy duty mounts and alloy end links
anti lift kit
king springs

havent done a wheel alignment. At the moment the car has good roll resistance but applying any power mid corner causes bullshit understeer

Tomorrow its getting front and rear camber kit installed. Any one on here with a similar setup suggest some good alignment settings ?

Its a weekend car only, used for quick street driving and the occassional track day. I couldent give a shit about tyre wear just want it to turn in good. Would prefer handling with a bias to oversteer.

I'm getting my car aligned by John at the moment, with swaybars front and rear, strut braces, ALK and camber bolts front and rear. When I get it back this arvo I'll let you know what my settings are. I've asked him to set it up for similar driving to what you're after so it should give you a ball park. Neg 2 degrees front camber FTW

I have a very similar setup on my 06, John at wheels world did my alignment and the car drove alot better! Well worth it IMO. Best $80+ i've spent.

The guys at Wilkinsons know what they are doing. A lot depends on your intended use of the car. Try -2deg camber front and -1.5deg rear with neutral toe F&R. Keep the rear bar on the firmest setting for now and soften it up for winter. Do not run toe out on the rear unless you enjoy oversteer.

If you really don't care about tyre wear fit some Noltec Strut tops and dial in some serious camber...
