I have a blob wrx, it's completely standard besides a cat back, what's the best handling mods on a budget, I'm not interested in coilovers and I drive it everyday, I was thinking anti roll bars and anti lift kit, strut brace maybe some lowering springs

 

"I was thinking anti roll bars and anti lift kit, strut brace maybe some lowering springs"

that's it mate, and a good geo setup jobs done! anti roll bar i went with 24mm front and back set on medium on front and hard on the back.

 

Had the same question myself but after reading up on it, I went wtih Prodrive springs, Whiteline 22mm rear arb, rear drop links and geometry set to Prodrive settings. Handling much improved but ride doesn't seem any harder. Suspension has tightened up and turns in better, steering seems more responsive but still compliant, can still feel the back end when it goes but doesn't snap out on you.

Checked front arb bushes and droplinks and they seem pretty good so might just go for the Whiteline ALK next.

 

More caster in the front , Simple

 

I went with 20mm anti roll bar in front as was really cheap and whiteline,24mm rear antiroll bar, set on hard also whiteline ,floflex alloy drop links again really cheap.

car is lowered not sure on what but its not silly low maybe 25mm or 30mm theres still a 1 inch cap ...

but being a rotton uk turbo ,lol ,i just spent £380 on powerflex bushes and 4 bushes from subaru for the rear as they fell to bits and as no one else does them ..thats just for the rear.

and go for a good tyre with a hard side wall and not a soft one you will def notice that i did ,went from toyo to avon still a good tyre but side wall not so strong

And a good set shocks like kyb or kyb pro series thats another £480 a set .no sachs there not very good and only £10 cheaper on rear and £8 cheaper than front for the standard kybs the pro series in gold are £60 more min.....
