[mincedmeat]

That car is mental! Too overpowered, IMO

I don't understand. Those words do not go together.

obviously replacing LCA bushes etc..will also tighten up the feel of the car..

then anti lift kit.

OP, please don't buy both the J-Speed bushes & an anti lift kit. They go in the same place

[Stomps]

Sorry.. should have worded that differently.. I initially wrote LCA, but in my heads I was thinking about replacing ALL bushes...

At the same time going ALK...

Works out a shitload cheaper to do all of them at once... if you are paying someone to fit them

Hey mate. Welcome to the forum. Great people here.
Feel free to PM myself or Karl (dropz). Happy to help you out with some great pricing on some whiteline gear.
Karl has worked for Subaru Eblens for many years and knows subaru's very well.
He does great pricing on serciving and installation of parts up at his workshop.

I can highly recommend the AVO rear stabiliser mount braces. The factory mounts are flimsy at best, and was flexing around just removing the bracket bolts! The rear of the car feels much better after getting a pair of these on. Well worth the money, and a better design than Cusco IMO.

far out. Great replies guys. It looks like the sky is the limit here with these cars.

At this point I don't wanna head down the 'ridiculous' path of modding. I v'e been down there before and while it's fun, its a money hole I don't want to fall down again. plus this car is my novated lease car. I want to improve the body roll of the car while it still maintains a classy, cruisy composure. Once the lease runs out, then who knows, I may just buy and spend a bit more. So yeah, looking for an improvement for some occasional hills fun. I will endeavor to invest in quality tires too.

Bang for buck handling wise, coilovers, struts are a bit more complicated and preferences play a big part
1) decent tyres
2) rear sway bar + HD mount for durability
3) LCA bushes
4) front sway bar

Those in order or at the same time and you will have a noticeable difference. front and rear strut bar you wont

+1 .

Strut braces are fairly bling until they are all you have left to do suspension wise.

you blokes are legends. I reckon this is the route I will take. May end up ordering some parts with you fellas. Thanks again.

whiteline front sway bar: $130
Whiteline rear sway bar: $170
AVO rear HD mounts: $140
Whiteline endlinks: $130x2 (front and rear)

get these.. fit them yourself and notice HUGE handling improvements... especially for what you spend..

obviously replacing LCA bushes etc..will also tighten up the feel of the car..

then anti lift kit, RCA kit, etc.. etc.. the list is very long.. just depends on what you want to spend and where your priorities lie..

Note, swaybars, stiffer shocks/springs will decrease body roll etc.. but if you have rubbish tires on the car, most of the performance benefit will be lost..

have you got a URL for those quotes??
i apologise if something is wrong here as i have quickly flicked through this post but I'm assuming he has a post facelift liberty sedan??
I'm thinking of doing the sway bars and bushes and the control arms etc, and on whitlines website prices are different there

im interested to hear where you got those prices from as I'm shopping about for my own car (post facelift liberty sedan)

[Stomps]

Hey mate... prices are trade through WA suspension.. got a mate that works there..

Whiteline website has retail prices... fuck paying retail..

I think whiteline do 1 or 2 sizes for libs iirc. I went the HD front adjustable version and HD rear sizing and found it them to be spot on in terms of street handling.
