where is the best place for whiteline parts from

911

Try Demon Tweeks, Power Station or Whiteline themselves (www.whiteline.com.au)
Demon usually have the lot in stock, but not everything Whiteline have available.

Just go to Whiteline direct, easy to deal with, and they have it all! That's what i did before DT started to sell them.

cheers

what are you trying to achieve?

uprated front & rear ARB's and drop links are a great start. You could go mental like 911 and replace every bush on the chassis

so is worth fitting the anti lift kit then

If you have a good road only car, want a bit of fun and creature comfort then:

22mm anti roll bars and solid drop links.
Anti lift kit.
Good alignment job by one who knows what they are doing.
16 inch wheels with 205 x 50 tyres (side wall flex is nice)

If you want some more (you will):

As above but lowered springs/ new shocks/or coil over kit.
17 inch wheels and bloody good tyres.
Another re-alignment.

If you want to Max out:

As above, plus
new adjustable lower rear arms
camber bolts
MRT top mounts
Solid mounting for all the chassis and rear diff cradle
Radical re-alignment.
Lots of brownie points with the wife as you have ruined the 'nice' car you once had.

Get used to driving it alone as nobody will want to travel with you.But what great handling, enough to scare yourself stupid.....

The costs involved rocket, so be sure and plan carefully!

Good luck

David,

Like I asked, what are you trying to achieve? Anti-lift is also known as pro-dive. Bumpsteer is another good mod, but you need to give specifics for anyone to recommend certain products over and above what 911 has already suggested.

For example, coilovers won't necessarily give you a faster car.

well i dont want to go to mental and change all the bushes but just want it set up better for fast road but not really track days

cheers

So what do you feel is lacking from your current setup?

911

May fit too high a spring rate to coil-overs, they seem to be supplied this way. Hard is not always the best way, especially on the road.
Tuning the damping rate to the spring rate is very trial and error, it took me a month to sort it, and I ended up hiring a test track for half a day to (safely) get to the 'ideal'.
People here have often said the Jap set-ups are hard. Do you know what spring rates you have? Are the rears 80% of the fronts?

Matching spring/dampers is a MUST if your happy with where they are currently then I'd suggest you start with rollbars/drop links as per 911 first suggestion...adding camber bolts to his list and 4 wheel re-alignment from there...On the road you need some compliance/compromise in alignment settings or else you will shake out your fillings and wear the tyres abnormally...Your 18inch wheels are probably running 40-45 ratio rubber,so you've already taken out some of the compliance...If you want stiffer than this setup go for uprated bushes...can make a hugh difference to a road car...but it makes it less compliant...
Anything more extreme as 911 says takes you down the road of......no-one will come with you!!!!!....
I used to have a road going Group A rally car....great for events..crap on the road...TOOOO stiff....

I run my Sti on P1 17 inch wheels and 40 x 205 KumhoV70A super sticky tyres for the road and sometimes the hill climbs. Now I have a set of 16's with Maxsport slicks 205 x 50 section. The ride difference is very noticeable, much softer on the 16's due to the sidewall flex compared to the super stiff Kumho's. You add another 'spring' to the suspension with the tall tyre section.
