love the wheels. not a fan of the chrome mesh i prefer balck. but each to there own. thinking of lowering mine aswell also fancy the tein springs. was thinking coilover but spoke to few people and as i dont track the car i wouldnt c any benefit of the 1000 plus they would cost me so had a change of heart haha

nice car m8, gotta say the blue in these looks beautiful in the sun once all polished up , was thinking of springs at first but if you measure the arch gap difference between front and rear, and if you lower it 35mm all round on springs, the rears will sit in the arch whereas the front will still have a 20mm approx gap, so will look like you have reverse rake (or summit heavy in the boot lol), coilovers would overcome this as you could adjust it so that the arch gap is equal all round, this is whats twisting my arm

All looking nice there, hows the rear Vortex fitted on?
Fancy your number plate too

Lowering springs are fine for short term aren't they?, dont they put more stress on the shocks over time?

Plus standard Impreza rear shocks are know to knocking, so worth while replacing/upgrading to coilovers, two birds with one stone:- car lowered & super road holding.
