Default ALK

Hi folks,

I have a good few questions so I hope you can help.

I have a 2001 wrx wagon. It has the 22mm and 24mm arb's and steel drop links. I also have rear diff mounts, all by whiteline.

I have prodrive springs to go on which I'll do saturday. I may also do the whiteline ALK I have. Is this a big job? Is it achievable by someone who can do springs in a few hours?

How long should the ALK take the garage, they were unsure as they have never done one and I may get them to fit it if I'm unsure.

What geometry settings shall I get the garage to set up?

Cheers

Dan

Hello mate, i did mine on my 99 sti and i removed the wishbones which is about 4 bolts, two on the chassis were the rear bush is one on the subframe and the balljoint one.

took about approx hour, easy enough though if you have done springs.
