Default Upgrade path...

Righty just after a bit of advice see if i`m heading down the right lines, Car is MY03 JDM STi, currently running on Tien super street coilovers with perrin drop links. Front and rear Strut braces. 17" wheels.

My original plan was to fit the adjustable top mount to the Tiens along with some other bits, but i`ve found out the top mounts can`t be fitted as an upgrade, the struts are different if speced with them to start with.

Sooo, the new plan will be Front and rear ARB`s with mounts, front anti dive kit and various other bushes needed to give me more camber adjustment. Along with a new alignemt set up etc.

Is there any other bits worth doing at this stage, or is that kind of it without changing coilovers? Car is mainlly road use with several track days throughout the year, currently car is well balanced, will understeer initially on sharp turn ins, but the back can easily get flicked around with a dab of throttle, however the car does feel twitchy on fast sweeping bends.

Twitchy-ness could be down to an "aggressive" alignment set-up ?

I have on mine, but I can get hold of a 24mm bar and it's abiout the same on the middle setting, as a 22mm bar on stiff.
