Sway bars (adjustable)
Anti-lift kit
Roll centre kit
Proper Alignment

PERRIN, Whiteline, Cusco, take your pick and smile :)

All that under-body bracing only really necessary if you are chasing lap times/competing in some weekend event, as russ said, it will make the car too stiff for our roads.

Can do springs/coilovers later on depending on what you want to use the car for but those starting mods will make a noticeable difference.

[QUOTE=RUSSGT;622943]What are you using the car for? If only road then making the car too stiff will not be a good thing. Especially on our crappy roads. Can make it bounce over stuff and slide very easily.[/QUOTE]

THISS well it happen with me at collie on the "S" section at the back of the tracks where I spun out
Stiff coils and not having enough contact on the track making the turn.Flat in 5th.

I only have Cusco swaybar 21F/22R, STI F/R Strut brace, Whiteline Anti-lift kit, Whiteline Roll Centre kit, HSD HR & DCCD to full rear ;)

Yeah, is a concern.. But loss of traction can be fun.. Hehe, but I get ya. Main reason is I want to solid mount the driveline to the chassis and don't want to rattle it apart.. Yeah, the sti's body is good but just seeing if there's any way to increase it.. But cost against gain, looks like I'll get more out of capping the front and an adjustable in the back to play with makes a lot more sense... So scrap the braces. Anyone have Amy problems using solid gearbox/ diff mounts on the street?

Thanks for all the input you guys, as a bit of a noob to these machines I appreciate your help. Settled on Whiteline 22mm adj front and rear sways and an anti lift kit. Apparently I won't get much from centre kit unless I've lowered it.. Finishing stereo booked in for rear speaker relocation n upgrade n amp n sub. Next goal,, 400hp! But that's another chapter I guess.. Peace out, from the crazy pearldiver! :)

can anyone comment on the Ultrex braces? much of a difference to the more expensive braces? any info appreciated..

cheers

Im assuming your are talking about the strut top brace? They all the same imo just get the cheapest one that will clear your top mount

As far as strut braces go, as Rexxar said, most of them are more bling rather than feel (you will feel a minor improvement in "rigidity" and feel).

If you are also referring to the Ultrex h-brace, to my knowledge, you cannot really feel the difference in handling on a GD chassis as they are already inherently rigid but they tend to work well on the less-rigid GC chassis'.

cheers guys, I think I may end up going with them due to the fact they are cheap cheap...
