Finally got her lowered
Wel at last i fitted the shocks and springs and i'm well chuffed with the initial result , these pics were taken right after it was finish so i guess she should settle down a bit after a while ,
What do you guys think ???

Cheers for the comments guys , there sti struts and tein s-tech springs ,
The ride isnt too bad at all , just gotta ease up a bit on the humps now lol , i know about the rears having problems but the price i got these for and the ease of fitiing the whole thing rather than just the springs just couldnt be sniffed at ,
it was the one thing i've been desperate to get done since i got her , for some reason i always felt my wrx sat really high at the front .

That looks much better.
where did you get the side skirts from, the bit by the back wheel doesnt look standard......
I have the same, WRX with gunmetal PFF7 type wheels and Blue Mica, but mine is a Hawk. I wouldnt mind some of those trim bits....
I am going to fit my Eibach's over Christmas so should look like yours too, maybe not as low though.

you sound like a guy with great taste
, the bits on the skirts were from subaru's mate , any main dealer should have them , iirc they were around the 100quid mark , (i might be wrong)Keep us posted when you fit the springs mate always good to see others work

Back of the net That looks loads better mate, exactly the right amount - Impreza's sit very tractor like as standard What wheel's have you plumped for? Don't know if its just me but the 17's actually look pretty good - though the 18's will be better!

It did look great yesterday. Watch them speed bumps. Its the same with my dad WRX, it sits really really high at the front like it going out of fashion.

Much better! Reckon you should get some mud flaps on as well 
Pictures look really strange on the rear wheel it seems to sit quite far in, they the Innovite Replicas? if so do they have a weird offset

no mate the offset is all normal , they are fine in the flesh , not sure why they look a bit off in the pic , but they are the inovit redlines , soon to be changed though
