Want to leave the engine alone for now and get the chassis and brakes to my liking so next on my list is next month the car will be getting some prodrive springs fitted to it after that ill be adding a few whiteline bits
Rear Subframe Bolts
Front Heavy Duty Drop Links
Rear Heavy Duty Drop Links
Anti-Lift Kit
Front 22mm Anti Roll Bar
Rear 22mm Anti Roll Bar
And Prodrive Geometry Set up
That should hopefully make a nice fast road car i can enjoy and the brakes ive not decided upon yet but i know it will be getting goodridge brake lines

The brembos are great, but i will be needing new discs and pads all round soon so i refuse to pay subaru for soild discs when i can get uprated grooved discs cheaper than subarus prices, and a good set of pads.

Yeah, mudflap are great saves the paint work from all those stones being kicked up, only downside when you first get them is haring them scrape off speedbumps when you first have them on. but you get used to it

Hello
Great to see someone modifying a car well, instead of just pursuing endless power. The Whiteline bits and Prodrive springs will be great, but if the cash is available the Powerstation Type 20 package with the AST coilovers is astounding. Also, the Prodrive geometry settings are better than the basic set-up, but I have found it can be improved upon. The guy who set my car up is subcontracted by Williams F1 and has been working on road and race car alignment for over 40 years. He did the following to mine and it is superb. No more uneven tyre wear and certainly no understeer, just masses of grip and confidence

Welcome to Scoobynet mate... Thats the modification approach I'll be taking on whatever car I go for next too, no point having BIG power if you cant exploit it properly.
corradoboy, if I took a copy of that to a geometry place, I take it they'd be able to understand it... cause I dont have a hope I'm afraid?!
Cheers,
Grant
