Default Lowered classic imprezas

Thinking of lowering my scoob fairly soon it's a my00 Uk turbo. Just wanted to know if any of u could post some pics of your lowered cars and state how much they are lowered to give an idea of what it will look like. I'm probably gonna go with springs for now and coilys when I'm feeling more flush! Lol

Unless you get a roll centre adjustment kit (seems to have worked on mine anyway)

Ah lad don't bother with just spring you will ruin your handling, i bought an escort xr3i once, that had just been lowered on springs shocking.

Should of added I am running BC Coilovers, ALK and Whiteline Roll centre adjustment kit. Spring rates are 5kg front and 4kg rear (slightly above the standard 4kg 3kg). Standard ARB's and droplinks (for now anyway).

And after taking a friend out on track he commented how little body roll there was compared to his '03 Blob STI with uprated rear ARB.

I opted for prodrive bilstein set up on my MY 00uk car,as i did not want it to be too hard.The ride height has lowered quite a bit,but it is not to hard and does not catch the backbox over speed humps. Also handling has improved immensley.
