Pretty much the same as far as toe goes all around, camber has been increased all around which does reduce stability but nothing you should notice in the amount it has been changed.

toe out is measured as a + number. notice how in his stock settings he has 0's at the rear. so yeah get it checked if you still want but imo its the toe out youre feeling

Thanks mate, might just take some time and get used to it fully, it must be the feeling when I turn it goes, so it feels snappier, hehe dunno really howto explain it :\

P.s. I am not making much sense I am sure of it hehe.

yeah its weird when you first get it done but thats exactly what toe out does makes turn in quicker at the expense of a little straight line stability. its also used to reduce understeer in cars like the wrx

What size bars front and rear did you get fitted btw?

Which coilovers, and rates?

The place which did it should recheck it for you if you feel something is wrong for sure, but its upto them and how good their customer service really is in the end.
