Handling upgrades
 
Looking at upgrading the handling from stock to either full whiteline products or hardrace both are adjustable what's your thoughts .

I would speak with Alyn at AS Performance...

three weeks ago I was in the same mind as you - wanted to go whiteline, and replace all the bushes e.t.c. as my car is 12+yrs old and feeling loose.

Alyn was very helpful, and I walked away with whiteline front and rear droplinks, eibach ARB's front and rear, whiteline anti lift kit, whiteline bump/steer kit, powerflex t-bar mount bushes, powerflex gearbox mount bushes, powerflex steering rack bushes e.t.c

All VERY reasonably priced, and has transformed the car! the handling feels tight / solid, and the whole car is much more responsive.

I wanted a semi-track / fast road set up, and these parts have give me that.

Alyn won't sell you anything you don't need - I was thinking on whiteline control arms, and after discussion with Alyn, he said its not something I really needed for my use.

Hope some of that helps.

Ryan :ok:

NEW Kyb shocks on prodrive/eibach springs whitline drop links, do that first to the classic. Then worry about re-bushing everything afterwards ;) If you go much lower or go down the coilover route then I would suggest roll centre correction but not the full bump steer kit as the white-line trackrod ends are crap compared to the standard items, just my 2cents.

Don't overlook engine mounts! Hardrace do these and are about half the price of the equivalent subaru GroupN numbers. (no more unsettling the car mid corner shifting ;)

Speak soon matey ;)

I used SuperPro bump steer kit instead of the Whiteline ones. as heard Whiteline ones weren't good.

Some good advice there already running BC coilovers Dave looking at ARB and droplinks but not sure on the lateral arms yet .

Poly bush the lateral arms the adjustable ones can cause issues to the drive shafts when not used correctly
