I have a My98 fitted with 17" st2's, and 22B suspension. Recently I have noticed that my rear wheels are getting much hotter than the fronts, It does not seem to matter if the car is driven hard, or just crusing on the motorway,(so it carn't be the brakes over heating) Has anyone else noticed this ? I would have thought that the fronts would have been much hotter, but the backs are sometimes twice as hot??

I would check if your brakes are binding at the rear aswhat would cause the problem one way to check this would be to find a long section of road and after you have driven round for a while trying not to use the brakes cruise down to a stop without using the brake and carefully see if the disks are hot!

As I am looking for new suspension , can you tell me how the 22B fits the 98 MY ?
Is it GT or Sti model?
Where you get it from?
