Hello from across the Atlantic. (CANADA)
I have a 1992 WRX I imported from Japan. I was directed here by nasioc.com members because I couldn't find the proper info there. They suggested this site because you guys have grey market scoobs and might be able to answer my questions.

Here is the question:
What is the spring rate is on my '92 GC8 WRX?
I searched but can't find the answer anywhere.

I am looking for a spring to drop the WRX by 1/2 inch and slightly stiffer (maybe +30 lb-inch).

Also If anyone has any info on these stock struts that would be great. Are they WRX specific? How do they differ from Ver5/6 struts or STi GC8 struts?
Basically anything you can tell me about the gc8 WRX non STi suspension.
Thanks .

depends how far you wanna go.

coilovers are for bigger drops but more expensive, or a set of lowering springs, such as eibachs (on mine and very good indeed) will drop it and wont break the bank

^ Thanks, but I don't think you read the question.
I'm looking for info on my stock suspension. What are the 92 WRX spring rates?

I know what kind of a drop and how much stiffer than stock I want to be, but I am missing the info on that stock baseline.

PS. I don't want to do the coilover thing again, they suck ***** on public roads.

Tidgy

was more refering to the height drop thing

Do you have any idea where you got that info?

The comment on the coilovers is coming from personal experience. I like them when i track my 180sx, but I drive it daily and it is really stiff/bumpy on the crap roads we have in Canada.
