Default RB320 Suspension set up..?

Anyone know what the RB320 suspension set up is..? I think I read somewhere its by Bilsein?

Evo Magazine seemed to give it a good write up recently. How does it compare to the AST Powerstation set up..? Anyone know..?

Also, is the RB320 suspension available to pur-chase from Subaru or elsewhere..??

Looking forward to your replies....

I think...!!!

Yes it uses Bilstein derived dampers and unique springs I believe.

IIRC

The RB320 has not Prodrive Springs it has Bilstien struts and Eibach springs Fitted ugraded anti roll bars, adjustable rear

i drove the RB320 around and the Prodrive track and certainly handled very well around and felt it was a good comprimise between handling and comfort. The ride on rough A & B roads would be more comfortable than my T20 April 2005 set up.

But reckon my T20 handled far better on the Track than the RB320.

Powerstation now have a better Rear spring which does vastly improve the road handling and comfort on softest setting. I took the latest T25 out and was far more comfortable and seems to handle better than mine

Speak to Kirk, They can fit whatever rate spring to suit your driving needs.

IMHO

I wonder what the cost would be of upgrading the standard STi set up to that of the RB320..? Would a dealer fit it..?

And would you keep the Subaru warranty...?

Hmm.....

It probably about £2.5K with all suspension mods

This is the A-line T25 demonstrator with the cossy engine The ride was quality
