Default GD arms in GC

Question for those who are using GD Arms in a GC8.

At the moment my swaybar combination sits at F: Stock R: Whiteline 22mm (GC8).

I have 02 Sti alloy arms and 05 Sti lateral arms ready to go in.

My question is, which sway bar links will i need to make this combination work?

Whiteline lists two different products for GD and GC (Spherical links) for the front.

Cheers.

I am running GC spherical links on the 02 sti front arms in the front of my 99 GF8 and there doesn't appear to be any problems. This is with a Whiteline 24mm fixed bar.

I also run the STi trailing and lateral arm set (the pink ones) from a GD on the rear using the standard STi sway bar links and, aside from breaking them (both the piece that bolts to the hub and the actual link) because of the 27mm bar, they fit fine.

You can't with the pink arms because the link does not attach to the arm, it attaches to a bracket off the hub. I was under the impression that 05+ STi had the same type of swaybar link?

I am not aware of any aftermarket link for the pink STi arms, but if you find one can you please let me know.

Are the GD alumnium arms a bolt on mod into the GC8? If so, which year GD model is applicable?

Any negative effects as in excessive camber etc etc? Its for a street car application.

Appreciate feedback guys.

They'll fit onto a GC with a bit of persuasion. Its a tight fit.

You'll end up with more camber and depending on which GD alloy arms you use, you might have some extra castor.
