Suspension upgrades-what order?
Hi, im looking at upgrading the suspension on my RA, and wondered what order to do it.
I have whiteline 24mm rear arb, alloy rear drop links, sti 6 springs/dampers and hardrace front wishbone link.
Im soon to fit a 22mm front arb and proper alk to replace the hardrace kit.
Do H braces and strut braces make any difference? I take it H braces can be fitted without a geo set up?
Thanks,Mit

To be honest, it's a bit to stiff on it's own. I've got it on the softest setting, which is great. Im looking to go to the centre hole when i fit the 22mm front. I was advised by cusco kid to fit these sizes.

KYB AGX front and rear with std WRX springs
Front 2 clicks (out of max 4)
Rear 4 click (out of max 8)
25mm rear a/r bar & solid drop links (3rd hole - softest)
22mm front a/r bar & std solid drop links (2nd hole - softest)
1.5 degrees neg front camber
0.45 degrees (ish both need altering the same) neg rear camber (std atm) camber bolts to be set up
Parallel rear toe
1mm toe-in front toe
For me it retains great complience over B roads and handles great whilst being easy to hang on too should you be pushing your luck (I've had sideways at silly speeds but it comes back in line real nice).
