Does the 07 Liberty GTB STI come standard with the STI Lower Arm Brace and STI Lateral Link Set?

Awesome. Thanks for your help!

Do you know the dimensions of the standard sway bars?

Remember to get the sway bars to suit what you want in the car.

Front sway bars will lessen oversteer; rear sway bars will induce more oversteer. I'd recommend just the rears and leave the front.


So, if I were you, I'd get a thicker rear sway bar, caster adjustment bushing for the front, and realistically that's about all you need. Go from there if you want to get more into it.

Whiteline is good value for money. I don't see the need to buy something more expensive like Cusco, Tanabe etc. because of shipping costs associated makes it almost 50% more expensive, and you just don't see the gains.
