im going to be uprating suspension soon on my 99sti
im thinking of the tein super street coilovers and replacing the bushes with poly ones as ive heard this makes alot of difference??? ive heard people talking about droplinks etc what are these exac and what do they do do i need these to get my car adjusted like 4 wheel alignment or can this be done as normal(not sure how adjustable the std 99sti jdm components are) any advice on pros and cons of different set ups please

I changed the droplinks on my classic for ones from...

PowerFlex

they greatly improved the way my car felt, I also had 17s on mine.
I dont think they change the way the 4 wheel alignment is done, well no one ever told me it was different when i got mine done!
Im not a technical bod so wont even attempt to explain what they do!!

droplinks are the things that connect the anti-roll to the car and will improve the handling along with thicker anti-roll bars
