Hi I have a 95 sti ra and was thinking of improving the handling by changing the suspension, even though it’s really good at the mo. The cars done 80,000 miles, Might the suspension be ok still or would I definitely improve it by changing it

 

Difficult to know if it is worn or not until you try another stock spec car?
If it is all worn-out, then I would search for a P1 set-up in totality, struts/bars/top mounts etc.
I would add a Whiteline 22mm rear roll bar a Whiteline ALK and Whiteline Camber bolts all round, + a very good alignment job via Power Station (though a good way from you!)

This will enhance the car and keep the true character you like with an improvement Subaru should have made years ago! (greater rear roll stiffness + greater front end caster + better caster settings front/back)

Just my 2 pen'eth.

Thanks Graham for the advice I already have the camber bolts on the rear with a adjustable roll bar. Any idea where I can source the P1 bits from and what price ill have to pay for them ta.

 

Call David on Welcome to the API website
I think he has a set.
He will also install and align for you.
Tell him '911' sent you.

I think it will be about £100 a corner.
Remember these are ace suspension parts for UK roads.

 

Thanks Graham, just spoke to David and hopefully be buying in a week or so .Said they will fit them and set them up as well, I first thought of fitting them myself but I can get a 4 wheel alignment done at the same time.

 

Wise move.
API will do you proud.

 

Yes Graham, David said you were his number 1 salesman

 

I've been promoted!
He usually cusses me!

No: API are a class act and a Zero-Bullsh!t Zone.

Refreshing.

 

We don't cuss anybody that spends money here

You were ' out APi recommended ' by NS04 during 2006 Graham, so I expect a better effort from you this year.

David

 

I'm watching you, sunshine!!!

Advice on the P1 suspension, I suspect, is dot on though; quite tempted myself.... except my shocks and springs are in good order so thinking of just rear and front anti roll bars and good allignment.

If I take the plunge I'll tell David you sent me!
