BR Series Coilovers - advice before Mon please
 

Hi all :) (I meant BR Series, ignore title)
Been looking at this group buy but cannot make my mind up on the spring rate i want. lol.
I have an 03 WRX with Eibach springs and the original 87k mile shocks! Been on the car for years like this.
I want a more comfortable/compliant ride, so do i go for 5/4 or would 6/5 compare to what i have now? What i mean is, with the higher ride i could be ok with 6/5, but for comfort i am thinking 5/4.
Has anyone compared Eibachs and BC's? WRX ant STI standard?
I can get the height i want from them of course as i need a higher ride than i have now, too many speed humps and hilly driveways that i use regularly. Although only Eibachs it is still too low really for what i spend most of my time doing. Not to mention how worn the shocks could/may be.
So, 5/4 or 6/5 ? LOL
Thanks for any help before Monday as i need to place the order first thing then.

Edited your title :thumb:

I'd personally say 6/5

Hi,
I have 5/4 BC's on a 03 sti and the ride and handling is far better than std.

5/4 not 6/5

I've got 6/5 on mine and yes it's firm but with the damping at 6 on the front and 4 on the rear the ride is spot on and I have a very rough drive to the back of my house which the car copes with better than on standard.

Ahh! So, of course i could get 6/5 and mess about with the damping softer, or even 5/4 and harder damping, LOL. Oh ffs, what do i do! :)
I certainly dont want anything that makes it harsher than my current 87k mile shocks and Eibach springs.

The 6/5 will probably be harder butr I've not been in a car with Eibachs to compare with, you may find that 5/4 with the damping turned up is more your thing is there nobody near to you with them on already?

Just get 5/4's it's as easy as that.

If you want the ride harder after trying 5/4's you can buy some 6 springs and fit them to the front and put the 5's on the rear later, it really is that easy.

5/4's here. 03 STI
