Suspension Questions
Hi All,
I have just bought a 2003 blob UK STI, I had a 2005 a few years ago which was lowered on Tein springs, it handled ok but now I have the chance to mod my new one I want get everything spot on.
My question is this, for a car that I will drive everyday what is the best option for handling/comfort. I want to track it as well as commute with it so do I . . . .
A) Tein springs on stock shocks
B) Eibach springs on stock dampers
C) Coil overs - can these be both comfortable and improve handing or are they just stiff and hard.
Many thanks
Chris

Hi Chris. A lot depends on what you are happy to spend. If you dont have a big budget then Id go for a set of Tein lowering springs on your standard shocks. They will stiffen it up enough to be ok ish on the track, but they obviously have their limitations. If you can spend around £820 then go for the Super Street coil overs, or £1,000 for the Super Street with top mounts for camber adjustment.
The coil overs will give you the option to stiffen it up for the track (16 adjustments) then soften it back of for daily use.
