Default where to go for suspension setup?

I'm from the north east but just wondering who does the best suspension setups? will travel almost anywhere to get the best.

Not the most expensive just the best, somethimes the two dont go hand in hand.

Not looking for full race setup or anthing stupid just shocks, springs droplinks etc.
shocks dont need to be adjustable as i'll never change em anyways.


I need a decent fast road setup for a MY03WRX running 330bhp.

The upgraded bhp is showing the soft suspension up now.

Cant go too hard as the roads where I live are crap farm roads.

Any idea's? been looking as TSL, APi and scoobyclinic so far

Personal experience: Powerstation, long way away from you
Close to you? Call Alyn at Asperformance.co.uk
AS do gravel/tarmac rally cars and is as honest as they come.

As above, the Powerstation Stage 3 T25 Package is awesome. I had it on my 03 WRX PPP and used to make mincemeat of 400+bhp cars on the road. You could get any competent and trustworthy mechanic to fit the parts, or even do it yourself like I did. The alignment needs to be done well though, and I got the guy who trains Williams F1 technicians to do mine Source the Whiteline bars, droplinks and bushes from somewhere like Demon Tweeks and get the AST's, and once fitted take to anyone whom knows their stuff on alignment and ask for these settings....

i had mine alligned at tsl made a massive differance to the way the car turned in dialled out the majority of the understeer. the stability of the car in corners is greatly improved. £120 ish money well spent in my opinion

Try to get Curtis down there to do yours. Practice makes perfect! And he's done a lot of them.

Agree Powerstation.................used TSL in the past and they were very good for the alignment but the AST's are the best I've had. Five hour trip for me....long day but worth it.
