Question powerstation stage 1 suspension upgrade question?

i'm thinking of going to powerstation for the stage 1 suspension upgrade, its for an 03 STI, my questions: has anyone had this upgrade with the standard STI springs? and are there any other suspension parts not included worth adding at this stage?

if anyone has had this upgrade on standard springs i would very much appreciate your views and feed back.

cheers

Ask the experts:

Rich/Curtis/Andy at Powerstation.
You won't get ripped off, just good advice for you to consider.

i have just had a rear ARB and droplinks fitted when i had the 30k service at PS.
I'm getting the ALK and as the wheels will need to be 're-tracked' i'm getting the springs changed as well.
My mate has a WR1 and the ride (and look) on the Eibach (Pro-Drives) springs is an improvement on my STi standards. So might as well get them changed...

The front and rear bars will always be a good "first stepping stone" into modifying the suspension, mainly as they wont alter the ride "quality" until you hit the twisties. and then they come into their own.
ALK lets you "feel" more of what the car wants to do and where it's headed.
Driver involvement!
you'll also be quite surprised at how more "connected" to the road the car feels after a decent alignment.

Being Sti based then there is no need for drop links really as they come with ball joints as standard. I'm struggling to think of anything else to do as a "first step"

thanks for the feed back guys i've had a word with powerststion and i've decided to go with the stage 2 upgrade which will add eibach springs and front arb. i've just had for eagle F1's put on so i think now is the best time to go for the upgrade.

just got to book it in and make the trip up there
