Rommel Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I just had the STi Lateral link set installed. I will post more review later today once I get the chance to drive it more on twisties than just straight freeways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I want those so much- but they're pricey! Lately, I'm thinking my car needs better handling before it needs any more power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rc0032 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Does it allow you to adjust the camber in the rear now?  http://www.racecompengineering.com/legacy.htm Race Comp - $599 http://www.avoturboworld.com/avoshop/product_info.php?cPath=1_58_3_66&products_id=222 AVO - $530 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanoswrx Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 They don't look like they have camber adjustments. The STI Pink Lateral Links for the WRX didn't even have camber adjustments. If they are anything like the STI Pink ones for the legacy, which basiclly just changed the bushings as well, then they should deffinetly help in turning, once I had my pink lateral links and trailing arms and from aluminum control arms installed on my WRX I noticed a big difference, the car felt perfect for the first time. I would make sure all your other suspension parts are upgraded as well as they are more improtant then these. They were the last thing I did on my WRX.

Xenonk Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 STi lateral arms dont have adjustments, but the Cusco and JIC are adjustable. I am very suprised that they work on the GT (which were designed for 2005 Impreza STi parts?!). Posts would be very nice to have. If they do work without changing the geometry of the rear's OEM alignments specs, I will be getting my hands all over a set of Cusco adjustable ones. Now, are we talking about lateral links or trailing arms? (That's the thing that would puzzle me even more so since the 2005 Legacy GT is a modified-to-new suspension setup that is different from the other previous chassis generations). Edit: Nevermind.. I see they are trailing arms / lateral links designed by STi. I thought the parts came from Impreza WRX STi. Carry on. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lately, I'm thinking my car needs better handling before it needs any more power. well that's what I'm doing right now, do suspension mods first then power if I still feel that I need "MORE POWER"  for now I'm pretty much satisfied with the stock engine performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 well that's what I'm doing right now, do suspension mods first then power if I still feel that I need "MORE POWER" Â for now I'm pretty much satisfied with the stock engine performance My car is a beast right now at AP Stage1 and I'd love to hit Stage2, but I'm just feeling a lack of confidence in the handling- could be because of the RE92's being on for the winter- in fact, that's definitely a factor. But I remember when I put a rear sway and rear strutbar on my WRX wagon- what a thrill it was to have my handling improved- more exciting even than gobs of extra power that you can only use in a stright line.

Rommel Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 I have a good decent suspension set up on my WRX and the handling is great, then I traded it for the LGT. Power is good but handling as stock is not equal to the WRX that I got used to, so that is what I'm trying to do right now. I have a Whiteline front sway bar in my garage that needs to be installed next . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firedawgs Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Maybe, I am used to my legacy already, but I thought thelegacy handles better than the WRX stock vs. stock. l do think the understeer is quit excessive like that in the stock wrx. A rear swaybar is a must. In MY04 WRX wagon, I installed the sedan swaybar and a lower chasis frame brace (cusco). Updated my vBGarage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rommel Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 thanks for showing these to me bro, i woulda been so confused about where they go without it on your car  No problem, nice to meet you. You could take it out on a spin next time to feel the difference in handling compared to a stock set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Holy bump... Anyone else running these? Impressions? I wonder about the longevity of the pillowball bushings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostjunkie Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 That probably because WRX_LGT hardly ever drives his car I think after almost 3 years, it still only has about 10k miles on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Island Legacy Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 bump im interested in this kit. Any pix of this on the car i have yet to see some anyone on this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 There are some pics floating... but there is not much to look at, they look exactly like stock links, just have spherical bushings and little "sti" decals. I have these on my car. The difference is subtle but it is there. Along with lca bushings the car is unbelievably "tight". LCA bushings make about 70% of difference vs. 30% of the lateral links. The increase in NVH is neglible, I noticed it just after I put them on - bit of extra harshness when going over bumps. Next day I could not tell anything is different NVH wise. 100% family compatible. Moderate bang for the buck, but when one wants to extract everything from the suspension, these are way to go.

Long Island Legacy Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Are they made of Steel or Aluninium. Does the spec b have different lateral links? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 They are light steel, not cast iron. These are also steel on SpecB. SpecB has trailing arm and one other lateral link (it might be called differently) that are made of cast aluminum instead of cast iron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rommel Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 The main difference between the STI and Spec B is that the STI uses pillow ball bearings compared to rubber bushings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
