Default Tired suspension-RA

Hi all! As the title, my standard shocks sound a bit noisy. The front left top mount is knocking, and the rears squeak over large bumps, although the car feels tight.
I need to replace the top mount anyway,and am looking for some dampers and springs all round. I don't want my fillings to fall out,don't need adjustable kit,just something reasonably priced,and a good basis for future ARB and drop link upgrades.Im also happy to fit second hand kit to help costs.
Any ideas where to start?
Oh yes it's a 95 RA.(is this the same as WRX suspension,feels stiffer than my old 95 WRX?).

Many thanks,MIT

Find a good set of Sti Version 6 suspension. With the right roll bars etc it will be great.
Try David at Welcome to the API website

You should also place ad in Wanted on here.
Lots of people keep their old suspension now when fitting coil-overs etc, but you could find some off a racer.

Thanks for the advise 911, fitted a set of STi 6 springs and dampers today,the front knock has gone,and the car feels instantly better!
I think my old set had different springs,as it was very slightly lower,and had a tendancy for the back to step out without much warning!
As money's a bit tight, im looking at fitting drop links anti lift kit and a rear ARB over the next couple of months.In what order would you fit these,or should i wait till i have everything and fit it all together?

Thanks,Mit

!
You should have fitted the ALK while you had the suspension re-aligned!

Fit the rear bar first, then the links then the ALK.
Best results are do it all together.
