Suspension Refresh
Once the CDF Group Buy ARB's are ready for shipping I'll be looking to replace my front/rear ARBs and front/rear droplinks on my 2005 WRX STi. (widetrack).
At the same time I'll be refurbing my shocks (using the grease nipple method) and fitting Prodrive springs.
Are there any other suspension/steering bushes worth replacing whilst I'm at it? I'm just looking to tighten everything up a bit and get everything renewed. Not so much focused on track capable handling as this is my daily driver and only used for casual fast road driving on a weekend.
I read something on NASIOC (I think) which suggested the widetrack blobs had uprated bushes on the steering rack which mitigated the value of upgrading them with aftermarket parts - but not sure if this is true or relevant for a UK spec car.
The car has already been fitted with a Whiteline ALK from the previous owner at somepoint, but from what I can gather everything else under there is OEM.
Anything else I should add to my shopping list?
