Classic suspension
 
Hi folks :luxhello:

I should hopefully be selling a divorced down pipe this weekend and I was looking at spending what I got from the sale on some lowered suspension for my95 WRX.
Now what I was wondering, is the standard STi suspension any different to the standard WRX suspension? ie will it lower the car at all or would I just be better off looking for lowering springs?

My budget (if the DP sells) is low :(

Unless anyone on here wants to swap? :D

Thanks :thumb:

Hmmmm, lowered suspension? So...not bothered about handling then?

You see, the thing is with Scoobs, go much lower than -25mm, it shoves the roll centre lower, which means the car rolls MORE and that's the handling even worse than standard:(

The thing is, my car to look at is standard and it looks very high at the front. I have just swapped 17" alloys with 22/17/45 tyres for another set of 17" alloys but with 215/17/40 tyres on. So the car looks a little bit higher still now :(
I don't want it sitting on the ground I just want a better look for the car and as for handling, I'm an old fart and hardly hammer the car let alone through it round the twisties.

Oh and you never answered my question :p lol
