Gb270 Wagon - Lowering Springs

Hi all, hoping to get some advice on lowering spring choice.

First off, the budget doesn't allow for coilovers as it's rarely driven! I recently bought the car and it had the original pro drive drive springs. However, the front two were broken and the person I bought it off, replaced these with a pair of Tein Springs.

At the time, I thought nothing of it as it was a similar drop. However, having compared my setup to others, it looks too high at the back now as I believe the GB270 only has a 10mm rear drop.

I found pictures of another Hawkeye Wagon (somewhere) and I think it had whiteline springs and looked good.

i have never had Whiteline springs before as I've always went with Eibach.

I am torn between a new set of Teins or maybe Whiteline?

Anyone experienced these on idealy a wagon?

Cheers Martyn

Thanks for sending over. I seen this but was quite a long time ago. I've emailed Peter and see if there's any in stock.

Cheers

If you're still using the original, inverted, wrx struts (50-60k performance lifespan), you'll still need to change the internal bump stops, when using lowering springs.
There is the WA/A2 '03-'07 sti spring, but for a wrx wagon you'd need:
KYB ultra sr, non-inverted, wagon-specific struts(£400) and rear bug top mounts.
On the road, coilovers aren't a handling improvement...unless your suspension is already shot.
