Default Forget about BHP.........

just had my v4 sti handling tweeked with anti-lift kit, new drop links, bigger anti-roll bar for the rear, rear strut brace and a lower front brace......still using the standard sti suspension.
all i can say is WOW, what a transformation, the handling is superb, it steers so instantly and gone is the dreaded understeer, i would recommend this over any expensive engine mod, makes it feel like its so much quicker, all the stuff is whiteline and is top notch for not a lot of money...
if you are thinking of altering the handling setup i would strongly recommend this...............honest.
a BIG thankyou to the scoobyclinic lads who did it for me!
has anyone else had this done?????

I've got the same setup with P1 suspension and it is great.

Add some power and it is even better

its never ending isnt it, trouble is with extra power, ive noticed some people spend huge amounts of money on the engine and then they rolling road them and get upset when they dont even get standard bhp figures from them,
mine feels quick enough for me...........at the moment lol!!!!!!!

all i can say is, (after another blast in the scoob) is bring on the twistys,
the difference is quite amazing, considering how much a remap is compared to this in my mind go for the handling, i promise you it is welllllllllll worth it.

Thumbs up

The Whiteline range of products has to be commended.

They are superb and very reasonably priced.

They can literally transform the car.

And the guys from Scoobyclinic are top notch.

Bought mine with a set of Eibach springs on it - sweet jesus every single bump shakes another vertebrae out a notch, but get me out on the country lanes and I'm in heaven....

Sweet

This is similar to the set-up I'm looking at for the next upgrade. I contacted Powerstation and was quoted.....
Eibachs - 135
ARB - 100
Droplinks - 38
ALK - 150
Fitting (inc full Geometry set-up) 200

All +VAT
Total £755ish
