Hello folks, i have a 2001wrx and would like some advice on improving the handling as it certainly isn't very good... The car has 4 tyres (always good) and all 4 are different makes with varying tread 215/45/17
So to start with i was thinking of a set of Yokohama AD08, good idea or not?
I have spoken to peter at PCA Dynamics at asked him for a set of springs when he gets the new batch..
Any advice on things to do before i get the springs?
Many thanks

Check all the suspension bushes for excessive movement as the rubber degrades over time. I have a 2002 STi and replaced all the suspension bushes with powerflex. Check all ball joints. If all is good or after you have replaced them and the springs get your tyres fitted and then get a professional geometery setup done. That should sort the handling out.

Great, thanks for that, that's what i shall do..
Will order myself some new discs and some good pads the weekend also, as they seem a bit poor... the car has had a prodrive pack on it, so that's a bonus i guess.
Cheers
