Question

1. How much does it cost?
2. Do any tracking inaccuracies get sorted at the same time?
3. Is it worth it on my MY94 (58K miles)?
4. Is the money better spent on anything else?

Cheers for your views.

Chris,

Best to give Powerstation a call to discuss any questions you have really.

But I'll have a go (might not be 100% accurate here):

1. £100 ex vat (I think)

2. Yes, and you have the choice of a road setup or a more track orientated setup. Even if the car doesn't have any bump steer (unlikely), you will benefit from an ultra accurate 4 wheel alignment. That on its own can make a big difference as the Impreza is very sensitive to even small setup inaccuracies.

3. Most probably, not many Imprezas are square even from factory. Whether the car will have much bump steer is another matter. Most do have, but it seems the 5 doors tend have less and some 5 doors don't have any

4. Depends on your priorities, but I would say the bump steer mod. is one of the best value for money mods you can do for the handling. Bear in mind that if you intend to make any other suspension mods. they *may* be worth doing before you get the bump steer mod done, e.g. if you intend to lower the car on different springs/dampers etc.

(Note to General Forum Moderator, please move to Suspension)

Cheers

Ian
