Default Classics lowered with whiteline's (pics plz)

Can you post pics of your classic lowered with whiteline flatout springs,im trying to decide which springs to buy that lower the car level.

Hello mate

Andywalkers was lowered on whiteline flat outs
ScoobyNet - AndyWalker's 1995 Subaru Impreza WRX RA

Looked wicked, and subsequently i went for the same springs but have no pics of my car with them, and they havnt even bedded in yet. The rear does sit a tad higher then the front though. Iv just bought some teins as id like it to sit perfectly flat

Andys car looks like its sitting pretty flat to me
do you think the tein springs will be much better and where did you get them from?

Cheers.

Just a little note bud, i fitted flatout springs to the STi dampers on my RA and it only lowered it about 10mm from the standard ride height. If your looking for a low set up, i'd go for something else.

If your only looking to lower 10mm or so get the eibach sport pro kit,they are a little harder than standard.I had them on my rb5 and found them good on the twisties

I like the look of that,is that about a 20mm drop?
If the sti were to come down to similar height then that would do me
but i'll wait and see what the teins are like,Wrighty

Nice RA by the way

I'd say it was about 10-15mm lower than the standard STi height.

Get some Apex/BC coilovers, then you can go whatever you like
