Does nobody ever read the suspension section

Getting eibachs on my bugeye WRX next week. Should I get drop links while I'm there? Presumably the Eibachs alone will cancel out any negativity from the standard links and the setup may be too stiff with links AND Eibachs, particularly on rough B roads?

Bare in mind that the '01/'02 WRX 4dr already has uprated drop links, they are different to the '01/'02 WRX wagon and the classic shape cars.

Alex, I didn't know that. Has your setup ( I know the sport / wagon setup is slightly different ) dialed out some of the understeer the car is prone to?

Yup, even on the GX the eibachs and TSL geo has made a big difference. A lot less understeer and seems to be less bump-steer.

As far as I'm aware, the only difference between a GX Wagon and WRX Wagon, suspension wise, is dampers & springs, the drop links are the same.
