I have posted the thread below in Suspension but as this section does not seem to attract many viewers I thought I would try here for some advice.

JDM STI V7
#1 Hi,

I have had a quote for some changes to improve the handling on the above. The items suggested are rear drop links, front anti-lift kit and geometry set up. Do you think this will make any significant improvements or will I need the rear ARB, as reading most of the threads on here this seems to be the first thing that is changed.

 

Geometry settings can make a big difference, depending on what settings they are at now and what you get them changed to.

 

I have already had the geometry set up done withe the current configuration.

The question is whether it is worthwhile changing the other items ( which will require re-alignment) without the rear ARB. Or is it changing the ARB that has the most benefit.

 

I'm also running a JDM STi 7 - my research (on here and other places) suggests that the most important mod is the rear ARB as it has the most immediate impact.

The others are useful but supporting to this

 

If the jap model has a horrible skinny ARB like the UK's, then ARB and droplinks are worth doing together. Cheap and effective mods. Would have thought JDM car might have had a better set up than a UK, obviously not.

 

been on the phone to powerstation today - the jdm's do have better drop-links, not sure on the arb
