Default STi Suspension Mod Path?

Hi Guys,

I'm looking at moving the same way as Tode and doing suspension mods before power mods to my car.

What would be the best way to go for a daily driver, looking to get into MC early next year?

Also, I would like the car to be fairly low as well so please keep that in mind when throwing some advice this way

Cheers,
Josh

may as well do it properly the 1st time - G4's, front & rear sway bars, camber bolts & ALK.

If you're doing it right, dont use camber bolts. Get yourself some decent adjustable top hats.

24 rear 22 front is a good start.

make the rear bar 22m adjustable...

instead of G4's try whiteline control springs (lower by about 25 - 30mm) not super lows...control springs are about $485 fitted. including all other stuff should give a heaps better handling!

oh and very importantly...a bloody good wheek alignment with max. negative camber f&r.

good luck

So basically:

Coilovers of some reasonable sort
22mm front & 24mm rear sway bars
ALK

That should be a good baseline?
