Drop links and strut brace for 03 STi - where from?
Who, other than TSL, supply the solid rear ARB drop links?
Do they REALLY make a tangable difference?
Also, as the new age chassis is reputedly much stiffer than the classic, does a front strut brace have a useful effect? Some on here swear by it, but I'm not totally convinced! (Prodrive springs already fitted)
Your comments would be welcome.

John,
Noltec also have solid drop links available and I believe their supplier is fairly local to you. That aside I'd always thought that the STis were fitted with front brace from the factory??

The "New age" STi (UK version at least) is not fitted with a strut brace. I assume it was considered stiff enough not to warrant the expense?

N22507 I believe is what you are after as can be seen here......

As to the strut brace I'm sure it will help but as to how much I couldn't say without doing a back to back comparison. If it helps, and you can wait a week as I'm away, you can take a ride in mine (fitted with the STi strut brace) although it has a slightly different set-up being an MY05.
