Default Advice needed on suspension

Need some urgent advice on my 06 Hawkeye WRX, going to be replacing my suspension before my mot next week. I am replacing my rear ARB and bushes along with the rear droplinks. I am also replacing my shocks and springs but cant decided which route to go down, its a choice between the Pedders, Tein Sport Basis Coilovers or the BC Coilovers from scoobyworld which are preset. Now just using the car as a daily driverso what would people recommend, thanks Chris.

Hi, I've got bc coilovers and getting a white line rear anti roll bar. Good set up on my blob eye, corners flat, feels good.

There's a road near me that's cambered on both sides has underlations and ridges all down it.
On bc's the car was difficult to keep in a straight line and harsh riding. With the spring and damper combo it's straight as a arrow and flows over the bumps. And as a result it's a lot faster down that road!

You just need to be honest with what the cars going to be used for and select the right suspension to suite.

Hi

Thanks for the replies. So if I go for pedders and lower it will I need to get the camper checked or will it just be wheel alignment needed checked.

Thanks, think I will go down the pedders route. So how much do they drop the car and can you still use multi story car parks with them?
