Better droplinks
 
Hi can anyone recommend me some better front and rear droplinks for a 03 jdm sti with 100pcd thanks

Better than what?
Have always found the standard Subaru/STi ones to be more than adequate.

Definitely not Whiteline; both front and rear ones that I bought a year ago have rusted heavily, and the ball joints on each pair weren't matched in that one side was incredibly stiff whilst the other flopped about all loose.

for (fast_ road use then good quality std fronts are generally fine BUT on that year of car it likely has the Plastic "C" rear links which flex for fun so better upgraded IMO.......

Yes, your car should have that diff support.

Alyn at AS Performance will have bushes to go in there.

JDM uses 41310FE020 which is the same as a UK upto and including MY04 (MY05 onwards uses 4130FE060)

As far as I can tell the early version bushes are 55mm DIA x 41mm L
the later ones are 55mm DIA x 47mm L

Ok thanks Don I just brought one the lad said it’s from a widetrack so guess that won’t fit

That I couldn't say as I don't know the exact differences between the two versions

This is supposedly an image showing the 020 version.

Ok thanks Don il just have to measure them up , I was hoping that because they both have the r180 diff that it might be the same

one has an extra "moustache bar" as Don's pic an the other has the diff mounted directly to the subframe
