You will need the sti top mounts as well Tim

Suspension will be more than fine for the quoted power levels. You could add Whiteline goodies to your WRX set up and get a full geometry (ARB etc)

SPIDERWRX

where would i get the top mounts from?

set off sti Suspension off ebay

was think of getting a rear arb & full geometry too

or what else could i do?

my cars handling is pants on the wrx s&s with 310bhp

sent you a pm Tim

STI oem suspension is poor IMO. Best save your money and go for something a little more focused. Doubt you will be any more satisfied if you are not happy with the WRX set up

thanks for the info :-)

going to save and get some better ones (new ones) allways better in the long run.

what do you think of KYB Adjustable Shocks & Eibach springs

AST's are the only ones I'd go for now mate. Not knocking the KYB as I've never tried them.

The AST's are 12 point adjustable and can be done within seconds from inside the car. They have small dials under the bonnet and near the rear seats and these can be changed to suit you're driving.

I had them fitted at Powerstation along with an adjustable 22mm ARB; Anti Lift Kit and alloy drop links. They sorted out the alignment and fitting and total bill came to around £1400.00.

Sounds expensive but do a search on here and you will see ho highly regarded they come. If you want some good feedback on AST's specifically on a WRX send "Corradoboy" a message and he is likely to be quite detailed.

I bought Eibachs then Prodrive springs for the STi chasing the perfect set up. Factor the fitting and alignment and I'd spent nearly £750.00. In hindsight I wish I'd have known about the AST's in the first instance but you live and learn. Coilovers always put me off but they are actually more compliant on the UK roads than the bumpy Prodrive springs...........

Best of luck buddy.

Have 2003 sti spec c's on my wrx, they're better than the stnd ones for a mild upgrade, (occasional track use), but if you're going the whole hog AST's are the daddy.

(Also used with rear ARB and solid droplinks.)
