Should be great. Report back with driving impression and feeling check once installed

I bought my 1st macpherson strut car 3 months ago, an 01 WRX Sedan. It's hard to tell the difference too much because my rex only has 66k on it while my Hondas always had 150,000+ on them. There is some bump steer evident in my Suby. It's stock and is a bit of an understeerer. My 1st mods will be an adjustable 22mm rear sway (or better tyres)

From factory usually you won't notice it that much, its when you start tuning it that you see the gap. Macpherson was alright stock but first setup I had was pretty nervous at times, had to do a lot of work to get it settled down but never gave me the level of compliance and confidence I wanted so ditched them and switched to a much 'softer' setup than I normally use to. It was still not as good as I want it but better than the first setup. Sold the car so no further tuning on it but at least I know where to start for Macpherson tuning. Unless you're actively racing, don't bother with a 'normal' compromise of a semi-race spec setup, it will be stupidly harsh and god awful on Aussie roads =|
