Hi all! As the title, my standard shocks sound a bit noisy. The front left top mount is knocking, and the rears squeak over large bumps, although the car feels tight.
I need to replace the top mount anyway,and am looking for some dampers and springs all round. I don't want my fillings to fall out,don't need adjustable kit,just something reasonably priced,and a good basis for future ARB and drop link upgrades.Im also happy to fit second hand kit to help costs.
Any ideas where to start?
Oh yes it's a 95 RA.(is this the same as WRX suspension,feels stiffer than my old 95 WRX?).

Many thanks,MIT

Find a good set of Sti Version 6 suspension. With the right roll bars etc it will be great.
Try David at Welcome to the API website (http://www.apiengines.com)

You should also place ad in Wanted on here.
Lots of people keep their old suspension now when fitting coil-overs etc, but you could find some off a racer.

Thanks for the advise 911, fitted a set of STi 6 springs and dampers today,the front knock has gone,and the car feels instantly better!
I think my old set had different springs,as it was very slightly lower,and had a tendancy for the back to step out without much warning!
As money's a bit tight, im looking at fitting drop links anti lift kit and a rear ARB over the next couple of months.In what order would you fit these,or should i wait till i have everything and fit it all together?

Thanks,Mit

You should have fitted the ALK while you had the suspension re-aligned!

Fit the rear bar first, then the links then the ALK.
Best results are do it all together.
