hi m8 i painted my brembos first using halfords high temp red primer which gives a good key and heat barrier then to B +Q to get plasticote metalic blue a near perfect match for wr blue then lacquer with halfords lack 2 coats job done

hi m8 if your wanting to fit brembos you need offset of 53 to clear them by the way i have front brembos for sale much cheapness geo

look at for sale section a few pages back sti 07 hawkey for sale

not so m8 you can start with the rear and d/links then fit front to balance it up always have the bigger bar on the rear .by changing the bars you maintain ride quality for road use some people want the car slammed and very firm remember its a trade off ,for every thing you gain you loose something firm ride handle well, rattle your false teeth lol geo

try whiteline 3 types of springs prodrive copies made in same factory prodrive spec control type and flat out springs all good quality m8 geo

hi marky go for front and rear anti-roll bars first 24 mm rear 22mm front check that your d/links are ok after 2 years running they do wear out m8 then go for lowered springs i can recomend control type pm me for info geo

hi m8 here is the science bit (HANDLING)its mostly down to personal choise what suits one guy may not suit another. rule of thumb ,increase roll stiffness and you will see great difference in handling . all cars are set up at the factory to understeer( FACT) u/steer is when you steer onto a corner and the car wont continue on that course causing the front end to wash out .you as the driver need to add more steering to maintain the course picked it can become so bad that you loose the front end altogether. the impreza suffers from mild to exessive understeer depending on the way its being driven, for example the hairpin at knockhill .go in too fast and and you will experience lots of u/steer back off the throttle and the car will tend to follow the line you want .to counter act this problem is simple 1) fit stronger rear anti-roll bar and alloy drop links this will multiply roll stiffness and tighten the front end giving more grip and better steering feel.2) by fitting an anti-lift kit you can almost cancell out u/steer as it ads 0.5 degrees of caster to the front wishbones by relocating them at the rear pick up points on the chassis. increasing this lightens steering , and gives more grip on the front end .there and are many ways that you can alter the handling on the impreza but remember that grip levels are only as good as tyre to road adhesion .suspension tunning is an art and all cars handle differently just as different drivers capabilities are. if there is enough interest i will do the impreza handling parts and explain what they do just as i am doing with BUILDING A TRACK CAR posts geo

the belt costs £56 for a good quality one 150 is a good price geo

i dont know if you are aware that most up rated springs are made in holland in the same factory thats a fact inc prodrive eibach ast etc geo
