Default Lowering a classic

So I want to make the stance a bit better rather than standard height, car is a 94 sti wagon. Not massively concerned about improving the handling as long as I don’t make it worse.

was wondering if lowering springs would be sufficient? If so are there any types I should look for and what size I can drop it by?

car is on the standard 15 inch lightwieght alloys

front is a bit high at the min as the engine is out

I wouldn't bother personally, but the Prodrive upgrades used Eibach springs I believe.

​​​I once fitted Eibachs alone (without new shocks) to a Mazda 323 GTi and it turned it too bouncy, so if you do want to do it and retain what classic Imprezas are good at, i'd budget for springs and shocks.

Dont confuse the normal eibach lowering springs for a classic with the blue prodrive eibachs.....completely different spring!!

@2pot is still able to source equivalent prodrive eibachs ( I think )
