Standard drop link fitted to MY01 WRX, although not visible there was already play in the bush after only 18000 miles.



Pic of new forged droplink next to standard plastic item. You can see there is a small difference in the hole centres, the forged one being closer. This tightens things up and the forged item reduces flex from the standard plastic item.



Drop link in place, although the picture is at a slightly different angle I think you can see how much closer the ARB is held.



Haven't been able to push the car hard enough to notice a huge difference yet, but it seems to pull round tighter from the back end esp on tight roundabouts etc.

Cheers

Nathan,

Where are those Drop Links from? (Just interested as I already have the nasty looking, but good performing Whiteline ones)

From TSL, not cheap but made so much better than the O.E jobbies and they look great. Not that anyone ever sees them unless you've had an off road excursion
