Default Anti Lift kit - Is it worth it ??

I have to go on my 02 WRX the following (hopefully soon when I can get time to fit it all)

Front 22mm Whiteline ARB
Rear 24mm Whiteline ARB

Apex Coilovers

Front and rear perrin drop links

Now all of this will be fitted then the car will have a complete geometry set up done.


Will it be worth getting a ALK for it, or is this enough, will the chassis be incomplete untill I get one of those?

Also will the geo settings need to be tweaked if I fit one in the future?


Cheers

Yes defo worth it if you aren't getting adjustable topmounts.

Personally for the cost of the noltecs I would get those fitted with the C/overs

Absolutely, yes. On my classic wagon they made the biggest difference.

The coilovers have adjustable top mounts.

Cool All helps

I have it on mine but no Adj tops, save that for when the Struts are replaced

I don't know anything about the Apex but the Noltecs give you up to 2 degrees caster I believe. The ALK will give you a fixed 0.5 extra

Will certainly be a tidy set up and more forgiving on the tyres once aligned

Hopefully, spent a fair amount now, and havent got any of it fitted yet. SO should see a massive improvement at once. Might get some difference tyres as well as have 35 profile at the mo and feel it's a little low.

Surely... And feel free to correct me if i am wrong... It is not worth buying the anti lift kit if you have adjustable top mounts as you can adjust the castor through those.
