hi guys i want to up grade my shocks and springs but iam on a budget any recomendations iam running a 2004 wrx

 

Get some STi ones and put some lowering springs on there

 

What he said Or keep an eye out for some 2nd hand coilovers. They are'nt as comfortable as shocks and springs though

 

Don't bother with coilovers if your on a budget, I'd go for STi or your standard struts, Prodrive lowering springs to suit whichever struts you use, a rear 22mm anti roll bar, uprated drop links all round and a proper geometry alignment.

This will give you a very good setup for road use.

 

What he said^^, wouldnt bother with second hand coilovers either as you dont know what abuse they have taken.

 

Personally, if you do go coilovers then KW all the way, nowhere near as harsh as Cusco etc! Better ride than OEM setup too! Had mine for 3 years on my Blob and never had any problems with ride etc

 

thanks guys think i go for prodrive lowering springs and new whiteline arb and drop links my rear arb is a bit grubby any way powder caoting is flakeing just bought a prodrive sports cat and secondary decat pipe of scoobyspares so springs and arbs next any recomendations where to get arb and drop links

 

CDF racing for drop links, they do ARBs aswell.

 

whiteline 24mm adjustable rear arb (set to middle), whiteline flat out springs and a geo set up by powerstation (and they recomended i ran 36psi front and 34psi rear tyre preasures), had this set up on my hawkeye wrx and it worked really well, think the hawkeye shocks are firmer than the earlier newages tho.

 

Or you could purchase the full P1 set up i have sitting spare in the house ???
Very nice upgrade and at a very good price

 

wot type of money we talking m8

 

P1 is a Classic so it's not just a straight swap.

 

thanks for the advice iam running a newage so they wont fit then
