Default Demon Tweeks Whiteline Discount

I ordered some Whiteline stuff from Dave Featherstone at tweeks today. He asked me to post up on Scoobynet just to let everyone know that they are still running the 15% discount on Whiteline parts (there prices are already very good on Whiteline and with this discount they are even better)!
As a plus point I ordered some non Whiteline stuff and as I had ordered some Whiteline gear he also gave me a discount on the non Whiteline items (this may depend on what else you order though so dont expect it everytime). I have been using Tweeks for years and have always found them helpful and there p+p is very reasonable to

So if you want some cheap Whiteline gear give him a ring on - 01978 663042

Ayde, it may help if you actually post the price you paid for each item you purchased (including VAT and delivery), that way people can see how good their prices really are

I ordered a few Whiteline bits (ARB etc) from Demon Tweeks recently and didnt know about the discount

Emailed Dave to ask if its too late to add it to my order as it hasnt been finalised yet... fingers crossed!

I would do but I was buying the stuff for someone elses birthday and it would sort of give the game away as they come on here occasionally. Just go on there website and take 15% off there prices simple as that or just give them a ring.

For example going from the Tweeks catalogue price - 15% (this price includes VAT):

Adjustable ARB's = £88.01
Fixed ARB's = £70.79

Tweeks are a couple of pounds more for the alloy drop links and anti-lift kits but they also do the steel drop links that come in at £32.40 (front) £32.40 (rear) for the classic.

Their postage is reasonable, so this may make the price lower than the current group buy price anyway.

The other point to take note of whilst you are ordering whiteline gear is that if you order something else non whiteline they may give you a discount on the other items. Say for example a k&n panel filter with 15% off their catalogue price which is what I got. So for the couple of quid difference on the droplinks and the antilift kit these other discounts will more than likely cancel this out.

Their postage is reasonable.

You want to try living on the line between area 1 and area 2 postage, but your post code puts you into area 2 band. Thus costing £6 extra.

I'm still waiting front and rear 22mm adj sway bars for newage impreza, that I ordered about 2 MONTHS AGO!
20 days ago they told me that at the moment they had no stock on the bars and that they expect restock on 24 june.
I don't know if what they told me is the truth, however 2 months is absurd!

The Impreza is a poor handling car with great grip. In a pure sense it does NOT handle well, but is saved on the limit by its all wheel drive. The Impreza really tested the original design because of its enormous acceleration. As any Impreza owner will confirm, powering out of corners means nose up and loads of understeer as the weight shifts to the rear and the front tyres scrub for traction. Power launches will see the nose lift while 70% of the available torque tries to find a release through the front wheels. These are the very symptoms that has been succeeded in doing with the anti-lift kit.

So, the anti-lift kit changes the location and geometry of the control arm pick-up point to remove the "lift" resulting from the original geometry. The new mount also relocates the arm in another plane to add 0.5 deg. static positive castor. The new mount also features a performance polyurethane bush which replaces the original high compliance rubber type.

This serves to maintain a closer link between static and dynamic alignment settings through reduced compliance and distortion under load. The 0.5 deg. additional static positive castor coupled with the low compliance bush means over 1.0 deg. more positive dynamic castor.

Lifted fromScoobymania web site.

Hope this helps

How did you find that?

I should come over and see you, still got your #. I'm planning on doing the whiteline overhaul, just waiting on a price from Dastek.

To those who've had it done, does it unsettle the car i.e. does it promote a bit of tail out action?! If so, i presume its handy for the track then?!

They come out at £48 each set plus vat delivered


dave also said that they are doing eibach springs with the 15% offer for all subaru's

The springs are £138 plus vat for the 03 sti,so im assuming they are cheaper still for the wrx models

Hi Ayde
Thinking of going down this route myself, do you have standard suspension setup?
My car is a MY99, has it reduced the understeer?

Just good to get some feedback from someone who has this setup.

put my arb and droplinks on and just been for a very short test drive, the car feels very different to the old arb and plastic droplinks, i only really got to go round a few small roundabouts, but the difference is very noticable, si i'm very pleased indeed, although my passenger kept banging his head against the side of his chair whilst i was turning sharply round some corners!

I have the whiteline steel droplinks, eibach springs, STI carbon strut brace and prodrive geometry settings so not to standard really. It has reduced the understeer slightly but it just makes the car feel so much more solid and has given me a bit more confidence in it when cornering hard Get one - you wont regret it!
