hi
pickin my 05 wrx up next satuday it has 18" inovit torques on. at the mo its standard wrx ride hight and obviousley i want to drop it to a nice hight and firmed up a little, wont be doing no trackdays nothing like that just want good handling and looks what would you's reccomend?
also when buying coilovers is there anything else i need for camber settings etc? and also would like to stick to resonable prices but no cheap sh@te.

cheers

look at bc racing available in the group buy section (marketplace). really pleased with mine.

 

I am going to put BC Coilovers on my Wagon

 

Eibach replacement springs give about a 2cm drop as to the Prodrive items, add in a good alignment and that will serve you well for road and even track use

Got BC's on my wagon and really like them. Dropped the car nicely and with 30 settings, there's room to play with.

 

BC's are the nuts.

I now have Eibach coilovers and i am well impressed so far. BUT, think what you want them for. Coilovers are harder and harsher than OEM suspension will ever be. I was used to Eibach springs and OEM shockers before and the coilovers were still a little harsher than that. It really is important what you want from this as if you spend £1000 (Eibachs) on coilovers and then dont like them, its not good.

 

I got AST's on mine and altough i love the ride height i cant stand the clonking on them. they could be coming off...!!

 

Love my BC's, they don't feel much diffeent to standard STI shocks for comfort. A lot of people have been in my car and didn't believe i had coiliovers on it as they ride so well.

 

^^same here^^

 

Ive got BC coilovers RM range and I love them, however I wouldnt like to have them on a daily driver. They are very hard and you feel every bump. But I do love them on my car as its a toy for a blast and track days. Car handles superb with them set up right

 

why not try teins......... just make sure you have a good dentist or chiropractor


seriously though everyone seems to rave about bc coilovers.

Think either scoobyworld or scoobyparts had some genuine prodrive springs for sale.

 

There's a set on Fleabay

And these as well

I would be very careful if it was an every day car because fitting either springs or coilovers make for a harsh ride!! I am taking my eibach springs out and returning to standard. My area is full of speed ramps and potholes.

 

Prodrive springs are progressive, and they not as harsh as eibach springs !

 

What area is that then? "Britain"? lol..

 

Yeh fair point ha ha

 

Exe-tc all day long

 

At 1700 its an expensive mod for alot of people

quality is worth paying for when you look at the BC knocking thread in the group buy section, now that would break your heart if you upgraded from standard set up because of knockin struts in the first place.

 

It has to go back to the OP to decide what they want and need from the car. OEM set up to any coilovers is going to be a big shock as regards harshness and ride quality when compared to OEM.
I also knew about EXE-TC but would not spend that amount of money. My Eibachs cost me £940 and are very good for the money. Also, i did not want ultimate adjustment either. The Eibach coilovers are only ride height adjustable. I knew for a fact that i would be messing around or forever wandering if any adjustable ones could be set up better! LOL.
So, grecian.s1 think very carefully what you actually want! It can be a minefield.

 

.......... in post number 5 I was referring to the Eibach replacement springs and not the Eibach coilovers
