classic wrx and sti suspension - what's the difference?
 
Trying to find some lowering springs for my classic sti, but all i can find are ones for the wrx and people keep telling me they wont fit:wonder:

Is there any diferenece or is it just cause the box says wrx, cant see why they'd be different.

cheers

I can't seem to find any either, i think the sti has KYB shocks and Eibach springs as standard?

Let me know if you find any!

And you want to lower it why?
Are you aware that if you lower your car, you will move the roll-centre and it will be MORE prone to roll? Lowering doesn't improve the handling, or the grip, in fact just the opposite:(

So the shocks and springs are just a different make, ie the same just uprated?

So there isnt a reason why the shouldnt be inter-changable.

I wouldn't like to say mate, i believe they are lower than a normal wrx though

I had apex lowering springs fitted to myoo and have removed to sell and replaced with eibach springs and kyb shocks.

can anybody tell me if the physical dimensions, coil sixe and shape of the springs are any different?

i have kyb and eibach set up on my 94 wrx and i have to say they transformed the handling of my car:)
