Front Suspension Question

beaviscih · 10-03-2008, 11:31 PM

I'll be transplanting an '04 STi motor with an '02 WRX 5MT in my 98L shortly, but have a front suspension question. I'll be using an '04 STi front cross member, swaybar, '02 WRX hubs/knuckles with JDM aluminum control arms.

My question - I have an STi Whiteline anti-lift kit (I can get the part number if it will help), but I'm not sure if the tie rods and ball joints will work without using an STi steering gear box assembly. I have not emailed Whitline's tech support, but thought someone would have some insight. Thanks for the help.

there should be no difference.

the only diff in the anti lit kits is the spacers for the subframe brace
