Yes, the bottom two links (no pun intended) have them on my car and have been working my way through changing some of the bushes. Probably not a bad idea to uprate the anti roll bars as well, which is where I'm heading having done the links. Couldn't vouch for the ones on the top link, they look like something someone made after a night on the jollop and wouldn't inspire me to be seen out with them on the car.

The cheaper ones work equally as well as the expensive ones. Just depends how much of a tart you are!

awdx4

Very much a tart where the car is concerned lol, I walk about dressed like a tramp but the scoob is immaculate.

The top ones are fine, its just there not as bling as the other fashion accessories.

Depends if you have a new age or not.
On many new age cars, specialists argue that if the front links are metal there's little point in changing them.
The rears on the other hand are usually plastic and worth replacing.
Make sure you buy new nuts and bolts to replace the existing ones too - one of my old ones sheared off about 6 months after running solid aluminium rear droplinks and an uprated whiteline ARB.

Just FYI - you'll notice far more difference if you fit an uprated rear ARB - doing the links on their own won't make a noticeable difference. HTH.

Me too.
I have the ones in the bottom two links.

My car is Classic Sti V2.
Does it make sense to change only rear ones plus 22mm rear ARB and leave front ones standard for a while and then change it ? I mean, i know that it will be best to change Droplinks all round at one time, but at the moment I can`t afford it.
Cheers

I didn't think I'd be the only tart here, very reassuring.
It probably depends on what demands you are likely to put on the car after stiffening up one end or other. I've done the drops all round and then will do matching upgrades front and rear as I progress with replacing other parts. As has been mentioned, new bolts are not a bad idea. To be honest unless your'e gonna be driving the car on the edge it ought not be a great issue. In my experience the improvements in handling are subtle and strengthen as more of the components are upgraded to point where a real difference can be noticed.

Yeah thats fine to do. As awdx4 says below. I had my rears on for 6 months before i did the fronts.

Worrying!

budgie smuggler

Can someone explain to me the difference between the original plastic ones which cost about 20 quid to replace.I am looking at replacing my front drop links was just going to get the same ones again, saw some on camskill wire type looked ok for about 45 quid probably will go for the type the top of your list.

Glowplug

As above mate. If you driving on the edge then you will get the benefits, otherwise, BLING!

So the top wire links will be ok for my 1997 wrx? Car will just be used for a bit of Fast road use. Got upgraded ARB's front and rear waiting to go on

i wouldnt worry about the fronts as they are fine if they are in good condition and a side note the ones in the listings wouldn't fit the front of yours as your car will have the ball joint type anti roll bar drop links along with alloy front bottom arms

I considered that kit (until i realised). When you consider the OE ones are plastic, i think they are a perfectly good replacement on a mildly modded road car.
As already said, the OE are very capable. But i'm with awdx4 on this one, a bit of a 'tart' when it comes to replacing parts on me old bus.

awdx4

But in a reassuring kind of way I hope?

Aside from coming out and declaring I'm a Tart where the car is concerned, my engineering background influences my eye. If I'm going to replace a part with an alternative for the purpose of increasing rigidity, the angular profile of the links I chose seemed the logical choice. Something made from metal rod will always have more potential for lateral twisting than an angular section by virtue of its physics. However much of Tart I might be, I personally wouldn't put a bling item on the car if common sense is telling me that it has very little engineering advantage over the original. I don't doubt that the wire links are ultimately stronger than the plastic ones, but the cast ones look a step better IMO.

Forgive me guys but i'm a bit confused now. So other words, for daily driving (no track events) wire ones are better or the other ones from links below ? Sorry for that, but as I said i'm foreigner and sometimes got problems with understanding everything :-)

ersonally i would go for the top lionk the wire ones for the price i would also imagine they will work as good as the others, just depends on buget and how fussy you want to be

Or go for the group buy ones

https://www.scoobynet.com/group-buys...s-93-08-a.html

jh1

for daily driving theres stick with the standard fronts unless they need changing due to wear. the rears are a must to reduce understeer as the standard ones are probably plastic. i changed to perrin rears with the standard bar and the difference was night and day. since i have done many upgrades.

jh1

forgot to say i would go for the more expensive rears only. dont worry about the fronts. and as important would be a fast road geometry set up.

Ok. Cheers guys. I decided to buy proper rear ones (link below) now and front pair later, instead of buying a whole set of cheaper ones.

awdx4

Becoming a Tart like me and the bat then lol
