Default Sorting handling out.. What do I need?

I have a 2005 wide track blob sti..
Now engine is as far as I can get without going forged I am now concentrating on the handling..
I have recently fitted some BC coilovers and have a whiteline rear adjustable arb..
Just saving now for some
Rear drop links
Anti lift kit..

Is there anything else that I could do with?
Cheers Ryan

Hi there

Personally I would go down the route of the Roll centre/bump steer kit,solid droplinks,front ARB and good wheel alignment

About the ALK,not sure,i wouldn't buy again ALK,you will gain more castor with rotating top mounts,some bushes will sort this out

Here is lots of good thread about the upgrading the suspension and really worth the read

And mainly depends on the for what car will be used and from this I would decide

Here is good article about the ALK

http://www.whiteline.com.au/articles...WL%20ALK_b.pdf

WhiteLine tested their ALK on WRX,which is known with worse handling than STi

To help with understeer I would rather spend money on front ARB(if you have already rear ARB),solid doplinks,if yours car is lowered or will be very lowered invest money to roll centre/bump steer kit/mod and good wheel alignment,those things can transform car handling

Steering rack bushes helps to 25 quid but worth it
I've got front 356mm ksport kit and over 100 m/h when braking hard i feel I'm loosing balance,
Im thinking about 356 rear kit but main problem will be with spare wheel.

I mean emergency braking from high speed not from 60mph blast and Yours is on standard pads than You have half braking power
your spare wheel fits on the rear - simply swap wheels
when You catch punch on the front of course
