Whiteline Adjustable Endlinks


GC8E2DD

Recommended Posts

Is anyone here running the whiteline adjustable links in the front of their Impreza? I chucked a set in last night and was surprised to find just how much shorter they are than stock GC8 STi links (GD and newer may be the same bit of kit, idk).

This is a comparison. Not a great photo due to the perspective, but the stock link is held only a few centimetres in front.

That is the whiteline link adjusted out about as far as they will go within the guidelines. It pulls the bar down noticeably.

I don't think it will bind on anything. I'm just wondering how much of a difference this will make to the effective rate over compression travel; I might be a bit paranoid but thinking about where the forces are going it seems like having it pointing down like this would cause it to have a stiffer initial effect, and soften as it compresses.

I guess Whiteline know what they are doing. Was just curious about other folks experience with these.

Swaybars are just relative left-right, if the other side has a shorter link as well then the bar rate won't change, the bar will just twist in the bushes.

The whole point of a swaybar is to resist one wheel being at a different height to the other, aka body sway.

If the bar is not perpendicular at rest to the travel of the arm it is attached to, then the link will initially be pushing a fraction of its force laterally on the sway bar mount rather than through the bar to the other end. My question was how much, but it was silly to ask in retrospect; I should just get out the old trig, measure it, and find out.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
