whiteline arb's
just got my scoob and I'm told Whiteline arb's are a good thing to go for. they have so many parts listed though it's a bit confusing - anyone car to share their experiences on what's best for road/trackday use?
car is a 1999 WRX saloon
thanks
Paul

i got a rear ARB and droplinks in my 2003 STi all from Whiteline and i noticed a big improvement over standard setup.
But i was not until i had an ALk and new geometry setup that the car really transformed its character - world of difference and all good
if Powerstation are near to you ... they did a good job on mine and it all works really well

road and trackday I'd be tempted more towards 22mm front 24mm rear. 
The anti lift kit is more about Castor improvement than it's anti lift properties, in fact there was a thread on here by whiteline themselves that basically said there was nothing to be had from the anti lift side of things but the name stuck.

I need to get four new tyres soon - so will wait until I've done that before getting the geometry done.

all parts arrived next day from Balance and have now got them all on the car. the difference is amazing for sure. rear bar on max setting is interesting to say the least ! marginally cheaper than tweeks as well!
Thanks to the forum for making me aware of these parts

Wish I got these ages ago.

Track scoob:
In the end the chassis mods go like this:
22mm front/24mm rear bars.
Camber bolts all round
AST coil-overs (so nice)
AST or Noltec front top mounts
Solid bushes everywhere (including the rear diff carrier)
Solid rear diff locking bolts
Steering rack hard mounts
Rear adjustable lower lateral links
Front lower brace frame
Very good tyres (ie Kumho V700 series)
A PowerStation alignment job, a full Monty by Curtis or Fuzz
Goes exactly like this:
DropShots Day
DropShots Day
Graham.
ps: if you think they are slow the first is on a damp track
Second one approach speed about 80 mph.
It seemed pretty fast from my 'seat'!

No, I'm a local guy really.
Just do a few Championships in the Midlands, Loton Park, Shelsley Walsh, Prescott and the odd ones at Harewood (first vid) and Barbon Mannor in the Lake District (fab track).
All good fun.
Hoping to do the Isle of Mann in 2007, one climb is at night!
