Hi,
Does anyone know the diference between WRX and STI suspension setup as looking to upgrade my 1995 WRX Classic and told this was a very good setup with H&R Springs?

Does nobody know, looking to buy some STI Suspension asap as been told the setup is a lot harder and has less roll?

depends on the years as they changed as they got newer and stuff

Well for example i have a 1995 WRX Classic and was looking to upgarde my suspension and was told to go for STI struts with uprated springs, so which model would i best go for, dont wanna go coilovers as too harsh for road use really, especially in N.Ireland.

Think all suspension up to 2000 is compatible with classic

Yeah STi is stiffer and it got stiffer every year up to including the STi6. I personally like the STi4 setup best for a road car - the STi 5 springs are about 20 lbs stiffer at the front and 10 at the back

Is the latest setup the STI 6 then that i can use and do you have the rates for STI4, 5 and 6 as a comparison?


Cheers topbanana!

Best information I have found for spring rates on the web is from Ravensblade

Yep there you go - looks like STI 4->5 the spring rates went up by 30lbs at the front!

After reading that think i will go the sti6 setup, what u reckon having this on my 1995 WRX?

Like I said, I prefer STi 4 for road use - depends what you want. STi 6 stuff is rarer

V3 wrx was pretty good when i had it on mine

changed it for coilovers and hated it

now running new shocks and Gmax progressive springs and i love it

http://www.ravensblade-impreza.com/t...ng/spring.html has loads of spring rates including classic STi stuff.

I have STi6 Struts and Springs on my UK MY98 and the difference is astonishing, perhaps a bit too stiff for everyday use (but I don't use it everyday).
