Anyone uprate the drop links, anti-roll bar, fitted anti-lift kit etc... on one of these?
Since putting light weight wheels on and eibachs, I feel it needs tightening up at the front or rather the lift reduced...
Suggestions on a postcard (bar the buy a turbo comments - I've just bought a house )..

Hi,
got the H&R coilovers, but they are HARD !
(and recently something's wrong at the back)
So if you want decent suspension, go for fully
adjustables !
On my wishlist :
- rear anti roll bar
- anti lift kit
- strut(s)
good luck

DrEvil,
Just done my droplinks (not done springs yet ) and it makes a nice immprovement - less roll round corners and generally which makes it appear tauter
Dunno whether to do springs now as I had a go in a car with eibachs on and whilst generally ok, was very crashy over our numerous potholes - I could be leaning back towards the prodrives for a slightly softer ride as a fair amount of roll taken out with droplinks which was the main aim... Also bonnet / scoop on car was "airborn" quite a bit on rougher surfaces
do you still like your eibachs?

PS half-milennium post finally

Either go for fully adjustables (most expensive) or just springs like the Eibachs. (most affordable, but very succesful)
Asked my Subaru dealer for an rear anti-roll bar but it's not that simple. The Sport doesn't have the right control arms, but the WRX control arms would fit the Sport :-)
Will do that mod definetly though.
First getting 4-pot WRX calipers :-)

Apple,
I still think the '02 Eibach is better on rougher surfaces than the Prodrive spring kit.
Hmm.. I'm gonna have to keep these changes on ho;d, until all the decorating/furniture buying is completed...
