Oh i forgot - driving tip

watch the rear end - it has a tendancy to twitch with the stock swaybars - and the front end WILL oversteer with overzealous cornering

If you have a spare 2k ( like we all have this ! ) invest in the whiteline "works" kit

ive just installed this on my gt4 - and it handles like you wouldnt believe !! Awesome is the only word currently i can describe it with

kit contains Koni adjustables - rear camber bolts , rear 18mm adjustable swaybar ( stock is 12 mm - way undersize for the car ) lowered springs, front swaybar bushes and mounts , and rear trailing arm bushes ( these stop the rear diff " walk " that the gt4 has ie the diff can move in its cradle 20mm either way wothout any effort - which basically makes rear end handling shit )

Other upgrade paths to look at:

Invest in a decent boost contrller - you dont need an electronic one - just one thats adjustable.( lets you utilise up to 18 psi instead of around 11 max on stock gear )

And also a less restrictive downpipe + exhaust setup..

Aussie exhaust makes a full 3 inch from turbo back system to suit your car ( off the shelf - no need to fabricate!~ )- that will really liven it up

looking at these couple of tweaks will see your car sitting at around 130-140kw at all 4 wheels, providing your mechanicals are all in VG order Smile - and make the Gt4 what it should be - ie a WRX eater Smile
