Question Sharpening Up and 08 STi Hatch

While I think my 08 hatch is awesome as a family car, it is a little rolly in the corners, and does not turn in with quite the venom of my 07 WRX.

It is due for a 20k service in the new year and I want to fit the following:

Strut brace (is there and STi or a whiteline that will fit)
Whiteline Alloy Drop links (will these be noisier than OEM)
Whiteline 22mm front and rear ARB's (should I only fit a rear?)
Whiteline bushes (steering rack etc...)

Has anyone done these to an 08 hatch, and what is your feedback.

I don't want to upgrade the shocks as it is still a family car, I just want to reduce roll in the corners.

Hi Potiriadis,

I've done the rear arb & drop links, subframe bushes, alk & PAS pump bushes. Difference is very noticable - no odd bouncing when changing direction or hitting subtle bumps at speed, and more direct steering. Body roll is much reduced also.

DaveP and Winmoz and quite a few others have done this also (see the 08 hatch thread on members gallery, but I think they both did a spring / coilover mod also.

Hope this helps

Hi

We can supply the suspension parts for the '08 STi hatch including Tein, KW, Whiteline etc etc.
Have a look at the following link to the '08 suspension parts on our website.
We are actually busy updating this section today and tomorrow so keep checking back.
