stiffer but not lower
Hi all, after a bit of advice, I am looking at doing a few track days, but also need to use my car fairly often for running around in, its a my00 turbo 2000, on standard suspension.
I would like the suspension to be a little stiffer for track use, but all the sports springs etc for sale I can see, seem to be lowering springs, and I am more than happy with the ride height where it is, as I have no issue with speed bumps etc round town.
Would strut braces stop the roll in corners to an extent, or am I going to have to go for a coilover option?
Looking for a cost effective way to give a little more stiffness on the track.

The most cost effective way to stiffen your car up would be to uprate your anti roll bars, it won't be that much harder for road use, but a lot less roll in the corners.

thanks for all the comments everyone, I think I will have a look into some uprated anti roll bars, anyone know which type would be best, should I just go for some sti ones, were they stiffer than mine out of the factory?

If you are happy with the height, you could consider just changing the dampers for uprated items such as the ones used in our Ezifit kit. This will tighten things up but still give good compliance on the road.

Are your dampers equivalent to a kyb excel-g/AGX on setting 2 front, setting 4 rear?
or
Equivalent to kyb agx on setting 3 front 5 rear?
or
What spring rates are they designed to match?
or
The dyno graphs, so we can work it out for ourselves.

Normally, with our lowering coils, i would recommend our Red Sportsryder dampers, though i have used the black ones with them before with good results for a more comfortable ride.

We do 2 different dampers. Our black ones, which can be used as a replacement for stock, and our Red Sportsryder ones which are a performance item. However, even the black ones are valved different from stock. They are not "an equivalent" to anything specifically. The valving is designed and specified by our R&D guys in Australia. You wont be surprised to know that i wont be posting the dyno charts for these.

What rate are your 92-00 Impreza lowering springs?
