I am after recommendations for front and rear anti-roll bar drop links suitable for a 2006 Hawkeye WRX also where can I get them at the best prices?

I am going to do this prior to getting lowering springs fitted to the standard WRX struts, I have read quite a lot of threads some people recommend the Prodrive, others Eibach or Tein springs which is best? and where to get them fitted locally as this would prove a little beyond my limited abilities with a spanner and I would like to get the suspension & steering geometry altered as well to a fast road setting.

On the Splat eye 03 to 05 I always thought you leave the front alone and just stiffen up the rear so the front can find its own grip to stop the understeer. Not sure if this is the same on Hawk eyes but would look at it first to save a few £££. a few people say the Whiteline are just bling over std as well. Maybe some others can help out here?

I found the Eibachs knocked on my old 55. Go for Prodrive or if you have the cash AST's. Powerstation are the sole UK distributor for these.

Had a look into the drop links and quite a few people state that you should leave the front drop links standard and change the rears, so I will probably go for Perrin on the rear. Have seen Powerflex as well does anybody have any experience of these?

As for the springs still not sure which manufacturer to go for, a few people have said that the Eibach springs knocked but they also manufacture the springs for Prodrive as well. Anybody got Apex, Tein or similar fitted and what are they like?

I have decided to go for Perrin drop links for the front and rear, think I have bought a set from a seller on the market place forum just waiting to hear back from him.

The more I look at lowering springs the more confused I get, I had more or less decided on the Prodrive set but there are very mixed opinions on suspension forum on lowering spring, so could you please give me your opinions? I want to improve the handling but I do not want the ride to be too harsh either.

I had Eibachs with JDM STi struts, Awesome combination once the geometery had been done in Powerstation.

Just ordered a set of Prodrive springs from Keith Price in Abergavenny, what a pleasant change it is to have somebody ring you back when they say they will, the parts person I spoke to was polite, helpful and only to eager answer my questions.

I did not even try CVC Cardiff after having read such poor reports about them.

They will deliver them to my workplace with some trade discount for under £200.00 which is quite a saving on the retail price.

I will definitely being dealing with them in future.

ah crap, i have a set of Prodrive springs in my garage. I must get round to bloody advertising them. Some newly refurbed & PC 18" PFF replicas too.

I do not think that the STI springs will fit a WRX unless you change the struts at the same time

GazTheHat

Didn't know that. Have the struts too. Got bits n' bobs lying all around the place, should get them all together and sell them.

Don't suppose anybody knows the size of the front and rear anti-roll bars on my 2006 WRX?

I want to order some uprated polyurethane bushes to fit at the same time as the drop links are fitted.
