Your Blob must feel like a different car now! Piece by piece, I've had broadly the same suspension mods made to my Hawkeye STI and – I know this is a car forum cliché – they've transformed the car. Drives like a sports car now and less like a shopping car. Loving it! getting the geo looked at. Nice thing about the ALK is you don't have to dial-in silly amounts of static negative camber at the front to achieve increased front-end grip (c.f. the Prodrive 'tyre killer' settings). Instead you can have a sensible amount of static negative camber for straight line stability and reasonable tyre wear, then benefit from the additional dynamic negative camber when you wind some lock on (i.e. when you need it!). Best to get that geo done as soon as poss after the suspension mods, but you probably know that anyway. Edited March 22, 2011 by Mystery Machine
ur.a.bus Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 yeh, sure makes a huge improvement. i put everthing on together and what a difference, love how sharp the steering feels not been very far in it yet due to either working or raining but looking forward to getting the geo done and getting out on a run in the better weather. currently tyres are just on the legal limit and geo's well off so lots of tiptoeing around round-a-bouts in the wet
mystery machine Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) love how sharp the steering feels Aye, that's the biggest difference. And the car will change direction much more quickly now, without becoming unsettled or losing composure. More stable too, I find – less bouncing around. And more steering/seat feedback. Just much more involving to drive – all good! currently tyres are just on the legal limit and geo's well off so lots of tiptoeing around round-a-bouts in the wet Wait until you get that geo done and get a chance to push it a bit on a nice dry day...
