Default Best suspension for STi Type UK

Hi All

What's the best aftermarket suspension set up to go for fir my 05 plate STi Type UK ?

Just fitted XXR 527 18 x 8.75 wheels with 225x40x18 tyres.

No such thing. A decent track setup will be crap on the roads and a decent road setup will only be ok on track. It also depends on your perspective of waht you want, hard or softer.

Ohlins track and road, seems a very good balance between the two, a great in between.

No 1 shock as stated will be perfect for both scenarios!

Assuming yours is a widetrack as I believe it is being an 05 plate, the RB320 suspension (if you can find a set) is considered by many to be the optimal road solution. Track is a different matter of course.

The pink toshi arai tuned suspension setup is a perfect road setup for the widetrack IMO
but the rb320 setup is good for the uk roads aswell or you could just get a set of eibach springs not as low as the tein items and put them to your existing struts
I've also had coilovers and I must say not good for your ****
