Smile Yes...yet another alignment thread

Alright, I have a 2003 Forester. I have to have an alignment done anyways so i though i'd ask what to do to help with handling. Mainly autocross stuff but i dont want to destroy my tires in 2000 miles. All i have done is an STi rear sway bar. What do you guys suggest?

main thing is to make sure your TOE is dead on. Stand there and watch the alignment guy and get a print out. "within specs" isnt good enough. With that said....max out front camber to about -1.5 and that will help handling and turn in, but your toe has to be DEAD ZERO to minimize tire wear.

From there, a front bar, STI OEM springs, etc...the list goes on and on.
