    I would 'interview' a couple of NTB/Hoffman/etc and find one that will let you decide the alighnment specs / work along side the tech. You could also look into getting a camber gauge and marking your cars resting / working spots with the difference between the laser results and the bubble gauge.

    i put cobb sport springs on the car. used stock top hats. what specs should i use on the camber? if i could get the specs i could print it out n take it to a place right?

    I would zero the toe F/R; max the front camber (sounds like you may not get much w/o bolts or plates) and then set the rear camber to something lower than the front, maybe 0.5 degrees less.

    May I suggest that you invest in front camber bolts to obtain maybe -1.6 to -1.8 and max out the rear camber, something like -.9 on the WRX correct? If you can push it, try for perhaps -1.4. This is a good stance for tirewear and substantially improved traction.

    lol, I'm late on all these alignment threads. Because of the different geometry of the front knuckle to strut connection, the 05 and 06 STi can't get more then -1 degree front camber w/o using extra camber bolts. The rear isn't adustable on a stock STi, but stock will put it somewhere around -1.5 camber.

    Max out your camber, zero out your toe, and enjoy your increased front grip.
