Default Improved through Cusco

Hi lads, fitted front and rear Cusco ARB's 2 days ago both 22mm with the rear set on it's hardest setting, GOD what an improvement in handling i've got it seems the car wants to go where I point it now. Just can't believe how hard I can take islands and not worry about the front going into the railings. Can't wait to get my ALK and retest it after thats fitted. Can' imagine it getting much better but can't wait either.

IMHO

The bars are the best value mod, any add-ons are nice, but only tweak things.

Don't forget that ALK needs the geometry doing after fitting...

Swapping ARB's is the best bang for the buck you can do on most scoobs, Cusco/whiteline etc etc, or even just STi takeoffs onto non STi's (that's the best bang for the buck!)

Yeah fitted the ALK kit today has improved lift/dive haven't give it much on the twisties/islands, but feels more solid, will be doing Geo check on Saturday at work on Beisbarth , where or what would be the best Geo settings be to have? Also the ALK brackets have elongated holes would this allow toe adjustment? Thanx lads.

I've tried the elongated holes on the ALK kit but they don't seem to adjust the Castor. Any Ideas guys?
