i would like to lower my sti my00 a bit , i dont want to go to the expense of coil overs so is there any good springs that wouldn't be a step back from the oe sti ones,

i have heard about the type r eibach ones but iirc they are only about 10mm lower and prodrive dont do any for a classic

about 25mm lower would be nice

 

The STi is about 25mm lower than a WRX/UK car to start with which is why the Eibachs will not do anymore.

Your only option (AFAIK) is the Whiteline "flatout" springs which are 40mm lower than satndard so will be about a further 15mm lower than you have now. When you fit them don't expect instant results though, your original springs have now sunk a bit and the new ones will probably not make much of a difference until they have settled after 1-2k miles.

 

I fitted Eibach springs to my RA and it never lowered it at all ,infact it look higher.

 

Me and me mate have the h+r 50mm springs fitted....his car is a 99 sti v5 and mines is a 99UK RB5, check them out for urself:

The car drives nice with them and theyre not too harsh either!!

 

nice cars there mate, what size are the wheels ?

if it isn't too much hassle could you measure the distance from the centre of the wheel to the wheel arch?

 

Sorry mate, my car is currently away getting some mods done to it so i cant help you at the moment

 

is that with standard shocks on??..nice and low btw

 

who are h+r ? i need some...!

 

Think h+r are a german company, good springs with a nice drop, but not as good on the road as the eibachs i would say though.

Heres some better pics:
