i bought a alloy strut bar of e-bay, nad i dunno it seems like i get more understeer, ploughing etc,,would putting a chaep sway bar on my 02 sti bug make it handle worse or would it not matter??i recon i might take it off as i only got it for an aethetic sort of wanky thing.got bridgestone potenza g3, 2 mnths old on 18".
i hate understeer...

Rear sway bar should be the first thing you do.

Whiteline is what you might call a "cheap" one (compared to Cusco, etc), but they work fine.

As Guiseppi said Get a Whiteline Blade adjust rear sway bar first.

Camber bolts for the front and a good wheel alignment.

yer i only put the front 1 on for wank factor,,should have known better.put a bigger inter cooler on it looks ok,,is it true you gain a tinney bit of boost when you upgrade ur ic,should you get the boost checked etc, being an sti they run a bit more boost ive been told.

putting a bigger cooler on won't change your boost setting on your car but tuning it for the mod will give you the benefit of having a bigger cooler.

you're probably not feeling more understeer, you're more likely to be subconsciously pushing harder in corners thinking the strut tower brace works magic

ha ha yer wouldnt surprise me actuially,yer i bought a gfb manual boost controller,and was thinking of uping it up a little bit only,of course,and my mechanic said becouse there sti they run a little xtra boost so he wouldnt do it ,being if the motor blows or wateva,boost cut etc...true or false??????im a bit of a meathead when it comes to mechanicals,etc.

Do not put a MBC on with out a decent boost gauge. Its silly.

you've wasted your money on the MBC...should have bought a T piece from bunnings mate!

on a serious note thought, if you're asking these kind of questions...do not touch your car! it will cost you less in the long run
