Default £500 to spend.........

I created a similar thread not so long ago and ended up spending that cash on a few choice mods for my motor and now I've got a little bit spare going so any comments welcome.

I've got all the exhaust system, filter, fuel pump, remap bits sorted.

So £500 to spend, what would you go for?

Can be a variety of mods or one big one, the spends has to include fitment of the product unless its extremely easy to fit.

Any ideas for a Hawkeye Sti?

I've heard that Whiteline Front and rear Antiroll/Swaybars make a big difference?

Any ideas welcomed.

I'm reasonably content with the brakes so far I'd say.

Does anyone know the cost of PD springs and geometry setup from a dealer?

Cheers

£500

Get your alignment done by a specialist as the dealer will either not it do or at best do it wrong ! If you get the alignment right you don't need uprated ARB's and Drop links on the MY06+ STi's. Wet or Dry they corner just fine without

I did think that getting all of that bought and installed for £500 wasn't bad, looks like I'll buy the PD springs and them get them fitted at Revolution or AS Performance.

Cheers

Whiteline/Perrin ALK £120, Rear ARB £80, PD Springs £200, 4WG £60

If you didn't want the springs, then some Ferrodo DS2500 pads up front, with braided hoses and good 5.1 fluid, for the same price.

Cheers for the link Gaz, just a bit too late by the looks of things.

PD springs for £200, where did you get that price from?

Cheers
