Thumbs up Korbach Frame Locks review - WRX Alpha Test

2002 Impreza WRX Sedan

Suspension setup:

Prodrive WRX Springs
STi Ver8 Struts
STi Strut Top Hats
Whiteline rear sway
Kartboy Ver2 rear endlinks
~15,000 miles with this setup

with the product installed on my car, it responded to the steering input a lot quicker. ride quality stayed the same. sudden lane change transitions felt cleaner. after the test drive, they took the product off. i'm sad to say the car feels like mush without it. i can't wait to get the product back on my car. they are looking for more testers in the San Francisco bay area. email manager@korbachperformance.com for more info. here's a link to their website www.korbachperformance.com

Thumbs up Frame Locks for STi

I had the pleasure of working with Korback Engineering to test fit frame locks on my 2005 STi.

Currently Korbach is modifying the existing design for the Frame Locks to fit the STi and other late model WRX's. I am looking forward to continuing the test process and can't wait until they are finally installed. I was able to witness some of the design process for the frame locks and I am really impressed. Packaging of the frame locks, instructions and tools provided seem very top quality and well engineered.

I have tracked my STi at Buttonwillow and I am anxious to see how the car handles with the frame locks installed.

Thanks Korbach!
