Default Finally lowered!!!

finally lowered on tein s tech springs. 35 mm drop front and 25mm rear.
the first pic is when I bought the car.



this is the car today, lowered , sti corners on front bumper and had the wheels done in black. painted the calipers red, but I might do them in black soon.







slowly getting there with the exterior. Up next , colour coded sills and 18's , not sure which ones yet.
pretty pleased with the tein springs , alot less body roll, looks alot better and for £140 cant go wrong.

Nice one, big improvement...will look even better once the skirts are lowered (will make it look lower).
Good choice with the springs too Mine are on Tein, and lowered the same.
Ride quality is not too bad and handling feels much better

Ditto.

I fancied getting mine lowered but have been advised i'll wreck the ride quality. It sits nice now though mate.

I'd not bother with 18's either, those black wheels look

thanks for the comments people. The ride comfort isnt bad at all really, doesnt seem much different on a smooth road.
if you hit a manhole or dip though it is very bad compared to stock springs, but that would be expected.

the biggest improvement is the cornering, big reduction in body roll and much more responsive when turning in.

Ill be needing the alignment done soon and that should improve handling further.
very pleased with them .

n3dny: I got the sti corners from epracing.co.uk .
