ok ive been useing the search function to find out about drop links

which was a good idea as i was going to roder front and rear droplinks for my car, but ive founbd out that i dont need the front ones as i have a wrx

anyways
im wondering about the anti lift kits now (search did not answer my questions)

is the kits that are available ok to use on a import, they are the same as a uk car?
the reason i ask is that its ovb that the front of the cars run diffrent suspension setups now

i thought it was a simple spring/damper and alloy wishbone diffrence

but it seams the jdm cars are running all kinds of diffrent things like droplinks and stuff

just making sure the ALK will be fine, and will the steering geometry need a reset after a ALK kit is fitted?

I have a MY93 WRX and had the ALK fitted at powerstation there was no mention of a uk or jap kit so presume no differance

car feels a lot mor solid on the road since I had this and the geometry done (yest it does have to be done)

hope this helps Alistair

As you prolly know Sticky, i'm gathering parts to upgrade my
suspension.
The Whiteline products being Oz based are used a lot on WRX imports
over there.
Jamie at J W Racing also does the alloy rear droplinks, for £80,
which look pretty nifty.
Have also heard loads of replacement droplinks squeak a lot.
Some guy in Oz, sprayed his bushes(not garden type) with Teflon
spray which cured it.

Cheers
Glenn
