Improve turn-in and increase handling prowess!
What is the PSRS?
In
the Subaru world, these kits are known as the ALK or Anti-Lift-Kit.The
anti-lift part of the kit is a very small feature compared to the
benefits of the solid type connection the PSRS makes. Eliminating the
OEM super soft bushing provides significant improvement in how the car
steers during hard cornering and even in a straight line. So P.S.R.S
stands for Positive Steering Response System. The PSRS replaces the
front control arm, rear bushing. This OEM bushing is designed to
beextra compliant to reduce NVH, and make the ride more comfortable.
Thecompliancy of this bushing is not something a performance oriented
driver is looking for.
OEM Bushings Installed
Under
braking, this OEM bushing has enough flex in it to cause the wheel to
move back and forth .300"! This deflection of the wheel causes drastic
toe in and toe out changes under braking. These toe changes will cause
steering input changes, cause the tires contact patch to change, and
even wondering.
When accelerating, this OEM bushing causes
unwanted wheel hop, and again toe in and toe out changes. During
acceleration, the car will want to follow the ruts in the road, as the
bushing flexes back andforth. This is one of the most noticeable
changes.
PERRIN PSRS Installed
Under
Braking, after the PERRIN PSRS is installed, the wheel will not move
front to back period! Since there is no way for toe changes to occur,
the steering feedback issues, and wondering under braking all goes
away!
Under Acceleration, after the PERRIN PSRS in installed,
wheel hop disappears, the car will have far less tendency to follow the
ruts in the road, and in turn the car will have more front end traction.
Adds Caster
Besides
removing all the unwanted flex of the OEM bushing, our PSRS hasan
offset to where the bushing is mounted. This allows the installer to
add almost 1.5 degrees of caster to the front suspension. Caster is
theangle at which the steering knuckle rotates on. Adding caster makes
thecar turn in faster by providing a larger contact patch as the wheels
turn on the steering axis. Think of it like camber for your steering!
