ive got a v4 STI type R its lowered using only springs wen i drive along and rock the steering from side 2 side it seems to lean alot and not feel stiff. How can i tighten it up abit and feel more stable i dont want to start forkin out for coilovers. Are anti role bars the way forward and new bushes?

Any help on what i need/sizes and around about prices would be great.

im o the best mod would be to go for a

whitlline anti lift kit, rear anti rol bar and rear alloy drop links (leave the front as so i was told if you do the rear it helps correct the understeer by doing the front as well you bring it back! just what i was informed and read so dont quote me on that bit)

i had this done to my P1 and boy what a difference, also i ended up fiting a set of KYB shocks think they are around £140 a corner so not as expensive as you might of thought and are quite a budget shock absorber whole lot cost around £1k fitted but best money i ever spent on mods to date, will fit them to the next subaru i get!

not too sure what garages are near you but i used len and mark at subaru4you in newbury give them a call and ask their views
