As you are undoubtedly aware, factory specs are about safety, and tire wear.

Take away front camber, and add rear makes the car understeer which is what the factory wants from a safety perspective, and if you rotate tires, wear should even out.
Actually... I think selling a "performance" car setup to handle poorly is "wrong". Especially since it's done simply for liability reasons.

Maybe I trust in natural selection too much... but if you buy a car like an STI, you should be capable to drive it with respect and skill, which means the factory specs are bogus.
