Default Hawkeye STI upgrades

Hello, i used to have a bug wagon years ago and i upgraded all of my drop links, ARB's and even had a anti lift kit fitted. the biggest difference i noticed was when i did the drop links as everything sharpened right up.

Now ive got a STI i was wondering where do i go if anywhere? do i need to upgrade any of the above or is the standard STI gear the same as?

whats the best upgrade you have done to your sti or what would you advise is the first thing to do?

Cheers Ste

I'd be sorting the suspension first mate, it's shocking on the hawkeye, I've got white line arbs and anti lift kit but ride of the standard shocks is letting it down, will be going back on coil overs soon as,

coilovers aint cheap though, ive read good reports on the eibach springs, have you any experiance of these?

Did the ARBS make much difference?

You can get bc,s for 695 all in ,fully set up. It's sounds expensive but once you've got new rear shocks and new springs plus fitting your prob not that better off, can't really comment on the arbs as the car came with them, but it handles really well, feels tight as you like in the corners,
