Hi Guys,
After some sound advice from you guys at the outset, when i first joined, I have finally done a list of mods. By the way thanks for the assistance last night with respect to the lower control arm bushings.

Being a builder with two consecutive rain days and my parts arriving on the first rain day and it was finally time to play :D

Mods existing
-3"/2.5" TBE
-Heavy duty exceedy clutch
- 18' rims, advanti medusa, (yes i still love them)

New mods, completed today, will post photos in the next day or so.
-White line sway bars, 22mm front. 20mm adjustable rear.
- Gen 4 bilsteins with STI pink springs front and rear, Yes they do fit, with some small mods for the fronts, will post a how too soon!
-White line anti lift kit
-Nylothane bushes for front of lower control arm. Might also post a how to for the anti lift kit.

Like I said will post photos soon.

Dave

So does the B4 sit any higher with the Gen 4 struts and springs?? I'd image the gen 4 is a bit porkier than your gen.

Hi,
I will be posting a How too shortly for the gen4 struts for gen 3 usage because its not exactly plug and play.

Thing we are actually talking about gen4 billies with STI pink springs. The rear bolted straight in and the car sat down 10mm initially and dropped another 5mm after the first drive.
The fronts needed a bit of mucking around but dropped the front a massive 40mm, so much in fact that i will need to get the front springs reset to get back up another 15mm, as it is now it is just too low.
All in all I am starting to think that whilst it is possible it might not be worth the effort. :oops:
