Lightbulb STi suspension build up!

Over the next few months keep checking this thread. I'll post a lot of "before and after" pictures and "how-to" info up.

Part-1

"STi Impreza Lowering Spring Set
STi lowering spring set reduces the vehicle's center of gravity for improved handling characteristics while still maintaining reasonably good ride comfort. Excellent for fast road and mild competition use. Can be used with factory struts, or more effectively with STi factory or sport adjustable strut set."

They should be here on the 30th

"STi Sport Lateral Link Set, 4-pc.
The four piece STi lateral link set upgrades 6 of the link bushings to pillow ball type joints and the remaining 2 bushings (rear outer bushings) to STi group N hardened bushings."

It's cool Here's the plan. I am going to get the STi lateral & trailing link set upgrades. I just have get them "one-a-pay period".
Then, I'm going to put all the part's on at one time, take lot's of pictures and do a little write up.

They are good for about 20mm of lowering, over the USDM springs. I wont know for sure "how" good they are until they on the car.
