Ride height (i'm assuming ground clearance):
WRX and STi are the same

Ride height: 6.1

Alignment: Toe - 0in (0 mm) front
0in (0 mm) rear

Camber - -0 10' Front
-1 15' Rear

Hope this is what you were looking for

thanks- ride height in the service manual should be in mm's measured from the center of the hub to the wheel arches- 6.1" I believe is the ground clearance

are you getting the alignment specs from the owners manual? does it show caster by chance?
