This is what I'm thinking about for my suspension set-up....
1) 4 piece STi Sport Lateral Link Set
2) Sti Sport Springs
3) STi Group N Strut Top Mounts
4) Front and Rear STi Strut Bars
That should take some of the slop out of the suspension.

2) STi Sport Springs = the STi lowering springs I was talking about?
3) I'm still trying to find out if it's worth the money to swap out the top mounts. I assumed that the STi had the Group N and not the softer stock ones. On my wagon I did swap these out. It makes sense to do while you are doing the springs, but they do add expense and are sometimes hard to get. When I bought for the wagon I ordered from Teague's and they took a long time due to being backordered.
4) Up to you, but to me the front strut bar is more show then anything. The firewall already provides a lot of support. I was going to put a rear bar on the wagon, but never go around to it. Not sure how much is does for the sedan.
5) You may just want to do the trailing links while you are at it. It completes the pink and adds 2 more pillowball type bushings.
6) To complete this I'd get a good alignment and have them tune in at least -1.0 camber in the front. I'd probably stick with 0 toe all around, but that is personal preference.
I agree though this should really clean up the STi's suspension and put it close to if not in the same class as the Evo 8 other then the steering ratio.
Think I could do all this and stay in A Stock? I think not! Oh well, I wanted to at least make it through the rest of the season in one class....

True, but a lot of this stuff is STi aftermarket, i.e they don't come on most of the overseas STi's either. I think we got enough of the other goodies to make up for it though. Plus with the STi I don't need to worry about power for a long time and can concentrate on the suspension and other areas (brake lines, etc..).
