04 sti best lateral links

brgwsti · 10-25-2006, 07:05 PM

Was wondering if anyone had any experience with changing lateral links on 04 sti. There's alot of choices out there; adjustable choices: (whiteline, perrin, cusco$$ ) then there's the subaru sti pink lateral links as well as the aluminum sti lateral links which I was told don't fit 04 sti. Any information or review of parts would be greatly appreciated.

The Cuscos are probably the nicest but also the most expensive. The STi pinks are nice as well, I've driven an 04 with the pink lateral links and trailing arms and it was very nice.

What's the difference? ....as in what effect does it have on the car?

I am having trouble understanding street touring class rules for autox replacement lateral links, is it legal or not to replace? From what I understand the trailing arms are illegal and lateral links are not somebody please explain.

I believe you're allowed to replace the bushings in your OEM links, but I don't think you can completely change out to aftermarket hardware.

Actally the most expensive are by this company polo tec ( I am not sure of the name) and they are carbon kevlar or titanium but they are too rich for my blood and very hard to find.......

I've got it narrowed down to adjustable whiteline lateral links or the poltec adjustable's with polyurethane bushings due to pillowball (spherical) bearings not being allowed in stu class. If anybody has experience with any of these products please let me know.

Fixed for you. They offer several levels of trailing arms and lateral links plus endlinks.

i have the sti lateral links & trailing arms....i love em in conjunction with everything else ive done!...a little more NVH...but nothing too annoying

+1 for the WL lateral links since they are adjustable and are not spherical. Spherical make too much noise plus ther shouldn't be any increase in NVH due to WL's yellow bushings. I also want them for the fact you can adjust the camber in the rear. Another deciding factor is that they are very reasonably priced and that a long time Subie suspension specialist makes them.

What's the weight of the WL lateral links compared to stock? I've read that they are made of steel....
