I put a set of tein springs in my 06WRX and bar the brembo calipers and carbotech pads oh and the remap lol..... They are the best thing I did to it.

Should be some pictures on here. Made a massive difference to the ride and handling. A bonus being it made it look much better too.

Is my opinion but I believe it has made it a better road car doing it this way.

They are not bad at about 200 the set.

See Duncan Race Dynamix if you are looking for a mapper for your Hawk - he has done mine twice now as I have added more mods and cant fault him.

As above about Duncan, he's re-mapped mine too.

IMPO my bc coilovers are one of the best things i did. massive changes to the handling as well as improved the looks and the best thing is I can change the height if needed and I can change the settings for when on the track. Not expensive for what you get.

Totally agree with your mate, I'm in the middle of getting all the extra handling mods like drop links, sway bar etc.

Whiteline seem to be one of the best. Have a look at www.scoobyparts.co.uk they do all you need.

Thanks the thing is I don't want to lower it as the roads here are rubbish just want steering to be more positive.
So which parts do I need is it front 21mm and rear 22mm and roll bar and drop links as you can tell I have no idea what am on about ha ha so make it simple :-)

Have a look on whiteline's website for info. Think Demon Tweeks do a discount on them also check group buy section on here. He says not to get coil overs so maybe a set of struts and keep the OE springs. Not sure which rock you are on so cannot say further.

Same position here mate, done coilovers before and unless you plan on going on a track all those adustable settings really are wasted. I purchased a set of pro drive sti springs (had teins on previous car, very hard imo) rear white line 24mm arb, drop links front and rear and also the anti lift kit by white line. Soon to be installed with full geo setup. Coilovers are not always needed to get very good handling.

An adjustable Whiteline rear bar transformed my car on std. suspension, best value mod. on the car.

Front bar more of a track mod. IMHO. and any good supplier will help you with part numbers, etc.

HTH
