BC Coilovers, a good dose of negative camber and some arch work

Awesome stance on the car , fella.. what type of car background you originate from? Dubs? or just a love of the wide 'Down and Out' look?

Looks great, it's about time we got away from the blue car gold wheels jacked up high with a spoiler look...
I would either drop the front or raise the rear though, looks a better with a slight nose down approach.
AIMHO of course.
Either way, it looks the tit$.

You can drive it if you like bioforger, will you be attending any japfests this year? 
Oh yeah i've been meaning to fix the hight the rears going to have to go up as i want my front spiltter back on and any lower at the front means instant bye bye splitter on cats eyes lol, plus all the cogs on my front suspension turrets are rounded off, SH1TE C SPANNERS! - hate those things, so its pretty much stuck like that till i can find a way of getting them undone lol
Not from Dub background, my only other cars have been old mini's and a 106 rallye fully 'raced' up with 1.6 gti conversion. - this is infact the first car i've owned without a roll cage and interior must say i don't like it, feels too comfortable lol. But yeah all my cars have been on the low side i like feeling what the road is doing ok subaru's maybe rally cars but 90% of them will never see anything but tarmac, also i would feel nervous doing +100 in my spoilerless car without it being so close to the ground lol.

Thanks, in the first pic i had just fitted the BC coilovers with no adjustment, so its the natural low they came with preset, there's no camber adjustment but the rear arches were rolled but not pulled at that stage, since going lower there was other work carried out with camber & arch pulling etc etc

Very very nice mate, always nice to see something a little different so of course on that remark it's not going to suit everyone!
The work looks A1 and there isn't a fault with the car at all! Attention to detail is noticed as well, bloody clean example. I prefer the white wheels tbh, gives the car a different contrast from the common stealth look.
Like it without the spoiler as well!
Top work mate! Wouldn't mind seeing this in the flesh.

Take it your not low enough to require a chassis notch yet.
Bought a classic wagon for a bit of snow fun and potential tow car.
Poking the tow car idea due to MPG
Think I will experiment with coilies and poss split rims
Looks sweet btw, white rims look much better

Funny enough i had my car jacked up today and noticed my driveshafts has already notched it for me lol, i would be worried but its literaly only 5mm, must have done it when i was super low, doesn't touch the chassis now tho
Thanks for the praise guys, struggling for idea's on what to do next with it..

I know I am in a minority here, but I just don't get it. The car looks mint in the initial pics whereas in the latter ones when it's really low it just looks too 'Fast & Furious' to me.
I suppose my biggest issue though is that why compromise the handling and ride so much just for a slammed look? Imprezas are not exactly lookers and the one thing they do well is provide A to B fun that is hard to match, but you have compromised that chasing a look.
Each to their own though and fair play to you.
