Default Drop links and bushes ?

Hi guys,

I have a bugeye 2001 WRX and I need to replace the drop links all round.

I'm thinking of upgrading to the CDF ones from scooby world, has one fitted these and if so are they worth the money ?

Do you think it is also worth changing the anti-roll bar bushes at the same time if so what ones do I go for as I don't want it to be a hard ride

Can anyone help with this please ?

Certain people on the P1 site prefer the originals.

22mm rear ARB with solid drop links.
20mm front ARB with solid drop links.

Some argue that you can get away with the standard front ARB so if you're on a budget you could save a few quid there.

Guys, do I have to replace the bars to get it to 22 or 24 or can I just put 22 or 24 bushes and keep the standard bars ?

The thickness of your standard bars are 19mm from memory. You need to change the bar to a larger one, the new bars will come with bushes.
