How much do you want to spend?

Cheap starter is good alignement setup with more front -ve camber and slight toe in, stiffer rear (STI takeoff or whiteline etc) ARB and the Whiteline (or perrin etc) pro-lift (called ALK) kit - or for really budget conscious, spacers/Forester bushes.

After that its springs/camber plates/struts/coilovers/DCCD conversion in acsending cost order!

step one, front sway (27mm whiteline) then some rack bushings. This is the cheapest route. If you want more change your alignment.

hi there dont fit 27mm front anti roll bar //for track use mainly
on the scoobie start at the rear
24mm rear bar with alloy drop links
anti lift kit on the front and later 22mm bar with alloy d/links then a good geo set up .with the a.l.k you will have 0.5 deg extra caster to combat understeer . 27mm front bar is way too feirce for your needs .we run 27mm rear and 24mm front on one of our track cars along with a load of other mods to compliment the handling
depending on the money you want to spend ,this would be the cheapest route

above alk below 22mm front bar and alloy drop links for alloy arms inc newage

hope this helps cheers geo
