Default Hawkeye sti twitchy

Had my sti for 6 months now and I need to start sorting the suspension, noticed its not exactly planted at high speed an seems a bit twitchy turning, same on fast b roads as well, what's the best starting point? Drop links. Then arb. Then springs?

Any advice greatly appreciated

i ended up binning the sti suspension on my hawk sti and got racing logic coilovers and 4 wheel alignment and you wouldnt know its the same car, the standard set up is terrible looking back compared to now.

and i used A line in dudley for the alignment, top garage although abit far away from you.

cheers

This ^

Then check your dampers to make sure they are in proper working order. If you have a blown or sticking damper it could also give that twitchy feeling. But usually its a geometry issue. You can have 20,000 GBP coilovers on the car and it can still feel twitch and drive poorly if your geometry isn't sorted.
