Racing logic , got them on my blob, ride is so hard , that i'm actually thinking about selling the whole car !
Blob coilover will not fit hawkeye (unless it's a widetrack blob)

Is the Hawk STI suspension any different to the WRX? I want to upgrade my suspension mainly due to the rear knocking issue but also to improve handling a bit - I don't plan track use any time soon. Is there an alternative to coilovers?

O also we found out the UK distributor went under when we tried to contact them to sort out warrenty. He's now got tiens on it, there pretty good so far, no where near as hard as the logics

Hawk STI suspension is different to WRX
Sorry ,thought yours is a STI version.
If it's a WRX, than yes a Blob (non widetrack) STI coilovers will fit your Hawk WRX.

I'm sure plenty of people who have never used them will tell you otherwise... but I have had a set of these on mine for well over a year and they are still spot on. great adjustment etc...

Unbranded and half the price of a branded known quantity, does it not make you think why is it so cheap?

Yup... When I purchased them I accepted that there was a chance they would be coming back off the car in a month, and they were originally a gap fill, but have done a cracking job so have had no need to replace
