been looking at the wrx model.

but it looks abit like a tractor, is their a difference in ride height between the two.

seen a sti in the showroom and it sits nice and the wheels meet the archs.

but when i seen a wrx their is a big gap between the arch and the wheel.

 

The Sti does sit lower and also has bigger wheels which is why it looks better

 

cheers but i thought they both came with 17's as standard

 

ground clearances 06 sti 155mm 17inch wheels
06 wrx 155mm 17inch wheels
06 R 150mm 16inch wheels

 

They both look like they are sitting high to me, the one you saw probably had aftermarket spring kit, maybe Prodrive. The next mod on the list for my 06 WRX is springs and 18" wheels to make it sit properly.

 

MY06 WRX had prodrive springs done by subaru sits 25mm lower very different car to drive now still a bit jumpy but looks a lot better
