Default Ok help me here

Looking to get the 5000km dyno retune and was thinking of spending about $500 on some more performance. What would you do? Filter and fuel pump or rear sway bar and ALK? I already have TBE and ecutek. Not looking to change the tune etc, looking for the next lot of performance. BTW it is a MY11 STi

Definately sway bars and a pro alignment.

from what I remember ALK's aren't as needed on the GD+ models because they aren't as light as the GC's.. I'd go sways and dial in some negative camber. 2.25degrees on the fronts will make it look killer and dial out that under-steer!

ALK's actually only provide castor. Applicable on all models if you can't get enough out of the stock alignment settings.

They are just named shockingly to confuse people!

I thought ALK's stopped the front end lifting up on hard acceleration and launch, keeping all 4 wheels firmly on the ground... and no, I don't mean to stop the car doing 'wheelie's'
