Default Spec C suspension mods

I have an 05 Spec C and was going to just get the geometry set up at PS do i need to get the full ARB and AL kit aswell or has the 05 Spec got an adequate setup as standard? Obviously i dont want to spent cash un-necessarily

Do you still have the standard shocks/springs??

If so then its pretty good kit and a good alignment session will be fine. Problem is that the Pink Kit has a tendancy to start knocking after a while as i've just experienced on my Spec-C so i'm going to have to fork out for a new set of shocks but i dont know which ones yet.

Its all very well people going on about uprated ARB's and fancy coilovers, but until you start using your car on a REGULAR basis on track days, then there really isnt much point in shelling out on touring car spec stuff.

Hope this helps
Rich

I dont think you will need the ARB or AL kit mate, i had my alignment done a few months ago but still find the car a bit twitchy at speed, i have just bought some KW V3 coilovers though to see if this helps as i am going to to some MSA sprints this year

All I did with mine was full geo set up for trackdays/fast road at powerstation and fitted an alk the car already has the adjustable sti suspension and bigger arb etc from the factory and I find the car well sorted on track and on the road,Now if I did more trackwork and sprints then I would consider changing but its Ideal for what I want for now.
