I was planning to replace my ARB's and get and anti-lift kit.

Not sure if they'll stock my ARB's though....

I'll have to call them to check if they have or can get them...

 

mmmm, I'm after a set of drop links

 

Nice one Mark, i was going to order some drop links next month anyway.

 

Cookie,

If your going to do the droplinks, I highly recommend the rear ARB!!! Made my car loads better You gotta take the OEM anti-roll bar off anyway, so if your replacing the droplinks, might as well put a nice shiny anti-roll bar back

Empty the piggy bank time again

 

Do the Rear ARB's have to be set up though, by a professional, if they are adjustable.

if so will elites do this when i have my springs and Geo done?

Mark,

Rear ARB and droplinks are easy peasy to do, even I can do it

It's just a bar that goes from either side of your lower suspension, jack the rear up (easy tiger) and look at the standard one, you will then see how easy it is!!
Dosen't need setting up, it has 3 holes at each end, just take the OEM one off, then bolt the new one on useing the same hole on each side (most people use the middle one), it bolts onto the rear drop link on each side (thats why both jobs might as well be done together).
Use the new bush's that come in the kit along with the grease and happy days!!

I'm happy with mine!!

I'll show you on Thursday if you want at the H/H

 

That's saying something

 

sounds good to me

 

 

I love it when you talk dirty

 

Going to take advantage of this, but do I need adjustable or fixed ARB? also will get the uprated droplinks is there anything else I need while I am at it?

 

David some say fixed ,some say adjustable.I don't think there is a right or wrong.I am going for the adjustable one so I have a bit more "playability".

Interesting thread on ARB's with lots of input on settings etc :-

http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthrea...&highlight=ARB

I also want the Heavy Duty ARB Mounts as Paul @ Xtreme said the OE ones are given a harder time by the stiffer ARB & can flex.



Quote from Whiteline site "New heavy duty rear swaybar mounts - for Subaru Impreza, Legacy and Liberty.
It's well known that the OEM rear swaybar mounts can break. Aftermarket sway bars add even higher loads, which can lead to premature cracks and mounting failure. Fit bigger rear bars with confidence or just upgrade your OE brackets to remove mounting flex. Specially strengthened to handle even 24mm adjustable bars."

I haven't looked at the prices but I don't think there is much difference between the adjustable and fixed ARB's. Got mine the beginning of last year in a Demon Tweeks groupbuy.

I went for the adjustable one because I have never put an uprated one before on any car I've owned and thought it best, just incase!
Not sure what effect the front droplinks or ARB will have, I have heard some good things about them, might be best to do a search or ask a question in the "suspension" forum.

I have.....

rear droplinks
Adjustable rear ARB
Anti-lift kit
Eibach springs
Full geometry setup by Elite's (needed after the anti-lift kit and springs)

Fitted everything myself but must admit the ant-lift kit was a real bu66er to fit!! Needed (if memory serves) approx 180lb torque on 2 of the main bolts, trying to do that with only 2 axle stands on the drive way and laying under the car with both feet on the torque wrench and breaking my neighbours fence with my shoulders was a nightmare Definately get the proffesionals to do this with their "proper" ramp and air tools.

Found the anti-lift kit does what it says on the tin at first the car feels a bit funny when you floor it as the front end dosen't lift anywhere near as much (feels slower) but it is definately worth it, stops the front wheels from spinning when launching from a standstill as all the weight dosent instantly move to the back of the car. Dosen't get rid of all the lift, but probably 80% of it!!

Rear drop links and ARB (fitted at same time) made the rear end alot stiffer, and made the car more direct in all conditions of driving. Spec C can vouch for the "steer from the rear" effect as I accidently done it next to him at a set of lights on a roundabout straight after I fitted them

All of these are my own findings, you may find the bits effect your car differently from mine.

Just read it all back and it might sound like scary handling when it's all fitted (sideways bit) but it just takes a few miles and a few "practice" corners to get used to it - remember these bits totally change your cars handling so you need to get used to your car again!
But when you do, it makes all the difference - I've been on 3 track days and with all the bits fitted, it feels much better!!

Really going on abit now!!

I still get a bit of understeer on track and when really pushing it on roundabouts, but I feel the only way to totally get rid of this is to fit good quality coilovers and have them setup properly by a good company.

PS - those adjustable top mounts look interesting

 

You could get all four wheels pointing a different way.

Talk about rear wheel steering.

Mark

 

So you found you had lots more oversteer after fitting ARB and droplinks


Cant wait
