GDB Sti Lateral Link Set

[D1Style]

Hi guys

Looking at these for my V7 RA and just wondering if it would be a good upgrade over the stock items?

Info on the net tells me they were originally fitted to the S202. I'm sure they were a factory item on the V7 Spec C's as well??

Or would i be best looking at maybe another brand like Cusco?

Cheers

They weren't factory on V7 Spec C, at least on on my 'gravel spec' edition. Perhaps they were on the 'tarmac' edition.

I know, because I did put a set on when I owned mine. I did it because I could, not for any specific reason (read: for the bling, yo)

Hardrace also do a set, unsure if for v7 or not. Have been meaning to get a set for my gc8.

depending what you get, if you want em pink just let me know. I can colour match that STI pink

Fairly sure they don't.

[johnny5]

pull my stock ones and paint em pink then say "Sti upgrade G"

[boon]

Actually, apparently they do require cert, strictly speaking.

Good luck man, they're hard to find and not cheap when you do...

I fitted a set to my RA and it passes VTNZ WOF's without an issue. Think they only need to be certed if they're adjustable?

[Scoobydoo]

Yeah that's right. If they are adjustable they do, but STi stock for factory stock replacements are fine.

However in saying that, you could quite possibly get away with adjustable ones. I think most places look for adjustable suspension, but not really adjustable anything else.

Whoa Scooby-wrx do you even drive your car? thats one tidy underside!

I run them arms in my RA had them in my gf8 as well they are about 15-20mm longer than factory the inner cv makes up for the added length... They are great good quality i've had a few secondhand sets of these in my hands and none have had any pay in the joints.

Only bad side is the swaybar link box thingy is very weak, i add large washes with standard swaybar because they bend.. if you upgrade your sway bar then you will have to look to welding steel plates in it to strengthen it up, Also you have to use a 14mm nut because you can't fit a 17mm spanner in there.

All the bother a side though they are worth it and do make a very noticeable difference

Edit... No Cert needed only adjustable arms.

They are more than just bling factor they are very high quality kit built to last:0
