Default Ride height between my06 wrx and My06 sti

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

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.
