Im looking at getting a Whitline adjustable ARB and droplinks, i've read pervious threads to try find out some info but if ppl could give me some advice that would be great.

I've got a blobeye WRX PPP its sat on coilovers at the moment and i want to invest in a ARB, what would the best way to go, 22mm adjustable or 24adjustable, and what type of drop links should i go for, and is there anything else i should get while at it?.

If i fit a new ARB will i need the get the geometry redone as i had it setup for fast road a we while ago after i got the coilovers on.

cheers for any help.

No need to worry as it doesn't affect the geometry !

24 mm for a smooth driver, 22 mm for a "rock ape", adjustable IMHO

Wire drop-links are good enough, alloy are blingier...

Assuming you mean for the rear !

Yeah for the rear it will be, so the bigger ie (24mm) the ARB bar the softer it its???? thot it would get harder.

anyhow cheers for the info :)

I think that maybe in reverse ,:wonder: I cant see how a 22mm will be stiffer that a 24mm

24mm is definitely harder and gives a stiffer ride, although it does make the rear end more likely to slide out. I run a 24mm on the hardest setting and on track I get a nice slide at the rear

no 1) you dont req geo set up for bars
no2) use 22mm front adjustable 24mm rear adj/on middle setting for road 3in total front has 2 settings,if using on track days set both to hard /if wet track set both to soft setting
i dont recommend steel links i only use alloy or motorsport rose joint type
no3) fit poly steering rack bushes this mod tightens up the rack fell /better feed back
no4) fit anti lift kit to cancell the dreaded understeer -this gives 0.5 deg of static caster (alignment req after fitting)
fit poly bushes to the rear xmember at the front of the diff this mod stops the xm crashing up and down during fast g/changes up shifts.d/shifts and also gives better lateral fixing
the list is endless for mods for subbies . we are experermenting all the time with new set ups geo:thumb:
