Default Which of these parts require geometry alignment after fitting?

. Whiteline Roll-centre/Bump-steer Adjust Kit
. Whiteline Drop Link Kit
. Whiteline Anti Lift Kit
. Whiteline Front/Rear ARBs
. Powerflex Control Arm Bushes
. Powerflex Other Bushes

I'm thinking of getting:

. Whiteline Roll-centre/Bump-steer Adjust Kit
. Whiteline Anti Lift Kit
. Powerflex Control Arm Bushes

Then having the geometry done. Then at a later date get ARBs and drop links, but i don't want to have to spend on geo again.

Thanks

ARBs and drop links will not require the geometry done, but the anti lift kit will.

As above, plus I'd do mine in the reverse order to you, you'll see more good out of the droplinks and arbs.

Oh, and if it's a classic, the accepted wisdom is to leave the front arb standard and put 22mm rear, or put 24mm rear 22mm front, whatever, front should be weaker, or you just put the understeer back again.

On an older car ( like mine, I'd do the ALK and bushes first ) with the bump steer kit ideally, then later on, the ARB's and DL's aren't going to alter the geometry of the car.

IMHO.

That's exactly what i plan to do,i just didn't want to have to cash out more on geo if ARBs and drop links effected it all.

Looks like i've got me a plan.

Thanks
