If you stick to a 7.5" rim on 18's then they should be ok. At least my Superleggeras were. I'm now on 8" Turinis though and they do catch when it gets a little bouncy or on the rare occasion there is people in the back. See my website for pics etc.

They do not lower 50mm. This is how much they lower an NA Impreza, not a turbo. You will get more like a 35mm drop.

So do they lower the same as G-max,APEX etc...

U sure mate ive just lowered mine 40mm on 18`s and this is the result http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...hyesmintin.jpg

18`s will rub at 50mm lower im sure if your only changing the springs,if your after that much of a drop i`d be putting some adjustable shocks on it or coilovers.Lowered mine 40mm with 7.5 x 18`s+215/35 x18 tyres and i still had to trim rear arches(doesnt catch at all on the front though)thats with a koni sports kit (springs and adjustable inserts)only Had to take about 3mm off round the arch though.

This is a pic of another mates car he`s put these on this week and we lowered it yesterday 35mm,this pic is with 18`s at the std ride height for a 94 wrx.I`ll put a pic on here now its lowered tomorrow (finished it in the dark last night and havent seen it yet today to take a pic)just bare in mind springs do settle after a few weeks and these have only just been fitted. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...d/4f5f44d0.jpg

i used h&r not had any probs handling wise but it does catch on the back sometimes with people in it but it only catches on the rubber protector if your leeds based may be able to help you out with a price

I'm positive about the H+Rs NOT lowering 50mm. I was looking at these some time ago and spoke to H+R about it. The quote is for the Impreza, it is not specific to a turbo/WRX etc. He said that was the max drop they got from a NA Impreza which is approx 15mm higher than a turbo.

What lowering springs did you use??

ukdave

koni sport kit 35-40mm drop with 4 adjustable shocks(inserts) cost approx 500 quid love it!

heple1983

think i'll prob go for the gmax springs, see how they look before i fork out double the cost on H&R
