Snapped droplink = whiteline arb, alk etc
 

So, I’ve managed to snap a front drop link. Man maths dictates that means I need whiteline roll bars etc.

Its a 80k 2007 widetrack Sti which looks pretty standard under there. Mainly used on the road but will see some knockhill track days. I’m thinking of polybushing and solid links for the front bar and 22/4mm rear bar?

anti lift kit; i can find plenty of info on whiteline’s kit but I like Perrin parts and their PSRS looks good, can’t find much online about it though, anyone using it?

any other bushes worth replacing whilst im
in about her?

what about putting a new arb link on , see if there is a heavy duty ones out there and see how you go , i did many track days with little mechanical sympathy and nothing broke

Yeah, the link didn’t break due to being pushed too hard, it was just worn and ready to be replaced I’d say.

Im just looking to see what’s worthwhile replacing or upgrading whilst I’m there. I have a heavy preference towards oversteer hence the thinking behind upgrading the rear bar and leaving the front alone.

if you have not already a set of coilovers have a much bigger better impact on how the car handles v an arb upgrade , i run a fsti i did the rear arb on standard suspension i noticed a small difference , when i put coilovers on another fsti then put the arb on the coilover car i did not notice any difference , the money spent on an arb would be better put into a better set of coilovers , i did the rear chassis lock down bolts but it appears the chassis already has solid bolts so little if any difference , i heard too stiff on an arb and it goes from grip to loss of grip more quickly made worse in the wet

there are some heavy duty ones on ebay there seem to be front and rear ones , the uprated rear ones i have done before they helped , the other ones on ebay appear to be fronts

Whiteline is cheaper than Superpro etc for a reason; it rusts within weeks, and pairs of droplinks have differing levels of movement/striction from new. You get what you pay for.

Speak to Alyn at AS Performance tomorrow, he’ll be able to advise you well and supply the parts you need at a good price.

+1 for Whiteline being crap.I too have a 2007 STi and the front Whiteline ARB carved two grooves into my aluminium lower arms so went back to standard, Rear one now looks terrible.
Awful quality items. Never again....
