inthedeck Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 I think that doing just the front one might not be a good idea. The rear end of the car will be too unsettled, I would think, with the smaller diameter rear bar, and overly large front bar. As for improving steering input, you might want to try the steering rack bushings, from Whiteline. There's a thread somewhere, here, with information on how to install them. I think it was boxer gt 2.5 that did it, not too long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear end of the car will be too unsettled, I would think, with the smaller diameter rear bar, and overly large front bar. I disagree, it will help the front turn in better and allow the front suspension to keep its geometry better. It will likely help reduce understeer by a tiny winy amount. But from a cost-value ratio I would get the rears first. It will also keep you out of the alignment shop.

SubieRU Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Thanks guys! I do have the STI steering rack bushings installed, but IMO they didn't do the job for me. I'm looking to tighten up the steering feel, and the bushings actually made it kind of lighter. I want the steering to feel as if the front wheels are better planted to the ground or as if there is more weight on them for a feeling of more stability.

SubieRU Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 What do you have for springs, shocks, and tires? Stock tires (I know, I know ...), stock struts (JDM Bilsteins Spec B rev A are coming from Japan within a month), Swift springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't even worry about the steering for now, your suspension changes will have a huge affect. FWIW I have the same dampers on ION springs, and love it! The steering is almost M3ish IMO.

Hota Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 AFAIK it means you mind my view. When I lasted checked, YMMV still meant "your mileage may vary" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
