Question Suspension Guru's help required please..

I have a Sti ( 8 ) UK Version, I have got prodrive springs fitted and now what to do some more mods on the suspension. I have been looking on the Perrin site ( www.perrinperformance.com ) at some upgrades. What I need to know is, if I was to buy Front / rear Swaybars and thier links front / rear, and also the PSRS ( ANTI LIFT KIT ) is this going a bit over the top. I use the car only at weekends and use it mostly going back and forth to the "Ring". Do you reckon it is a bullit proof system or do I need to go down this route and get some of the above from Whiteline.

Thanks for reading, and any advice would be welcome

regards "MADDOG"

IMHO I think its over the top for road use.

I had just drop links fitted - had eibachs done before - better grip on roandabouts etc - but not too harsh or twitchy.

If your doing nothing but track days then go for the lot

IMHO, you should replace the ARB's for better road use and get the geometry setup properly. Makes a world of a difference.

Not sure about ALK on it's own. Adds positive caster (a good thing), but can't say if it's a worthwhile mod without going top mounts or damper/spring/coilovers.

Just to add the geom check is a MUST

ozzy,jza, sorry I forgot to mention that I had a full geo set-up when I had the springs done at TSL, I will be buying Tein suspension with EDCF in a few months time.

Thanks for the replies
