Why does it need lowering?

cheers Guys,

anyone got an opinion on a set of springs ? ie which brand ?
I want to keep the original shocks, as they are low mileage and i don't want to go too hard.

What a beautifull motor fella! I had a set of Eibach springs on mine with a Whiteline handling kit. Lowered it about 30mm. Top scooby you have there!

It's a JDM STi, so that will be the rear fog light.

At least they did a good job! The darker surround also ties in well with the wheels and the other subtle cosmetic mods you've done!
