Vinnie,

You can fit the rear's yourself in 1/2 hr. Jack rear of car until weight has been removed from the suspension then you unbolt the old and re-fit the new. A novice task.

The front one's I personally haven't done yet (hence the GB) as these appear to be knocking and my MOT is due soon.

Rob,

I fitted the rears to my 95 WRX last year and the one's I bought were fitted with yellow bushes. Why should the colour matter you'd only see them when on ramps.

Mmmm, Rob you shed more light on this debate too. I need to remove the front wheels soon to check which arms I have as you are the 2nd person I've heard saying the front links don't fit WRX's. Watch this space.

Like Vinnie, I'd be interested in a set of fronts and rears for a MY99 UK RB5.

Are the ones on offer, the same MRT ones on Jamie's site? - http://www.performanceexhausts.net/braces.html

The ones marked 22mm Front and Rear Anti-Roll Bars, 2nd from the bottom of the page?

Oh, and are the fronts a DIY job too?

Stefan

caz 1562 count me in for a set of rears,the reason i asked about the bushes was i need to replace mine and i was going to ask if i need to pay extra for the bushes or do they come as part of the kit.

and as information i have gathered from previous posts the white line front link kit will not fit import cars as they already have metal links on them (i think this is right but might be worth checking with jw )i also believe rally colin can supply sti link kits??????????????/

Right,

I've looked at the front links on my 95 WRX and these are solid links as shown here Which means these aftermarket links are no use

It would appear that cars with alloy wishbones require the STi type solid link (what look like 2 ball joints linked together)

Rob,

I don't see why not, I actually have the front's sussed for the Jap WRX's too.

The only issue is we need at least 15 to make it feasable with Jamie.

Cool

Hey peebs,

Some info for the peebs asking questions
Fronts and backs are a piece of cake to fit, the backs more so.
The fronts are not designed for use on early YM classic WRX`s but if you wanna take a chance they can be made to fit (I know, been running with them on big red for almost 3 years). However be aware they are not designed for that car Funny though when I think about it, I`m sure some1 told me a couple of years back that morrettes didn`t fit either, so I fitted them as well

Oh and BTW these make a significant improvement in the handling and makes the cornering more predictable.

Pete

Does this include bugeye WRX's? Presumably the sway bar on these are also the plastic type as I've seen the uprated ones for sale?

If so I am interested.

Further update - To manufacture the rosejoint front ARB links will cost a little more than 1st estimated. This is due to the catalogue I was using for the prices are marked against lower end of the quality scale joints. Thus to receive the better quality parts, yip you've guessed it, each joint involves a cost increase.

You can make these up yourself. Can offer pic's via e-mail since I can't upload pics for some wierd reason.
