HSD Coilover question
Hi all, So my 2007 Hawkeye Impreza no turbo has these coil overs installed on them had 2 questions.
1. General thoughts on them from the community
2. The last owner lowered it a tad too much and when going over speed bumps and bumps it hits... What height would you guys recommend raising them to for it not to be an issue but still look nice

I have HSD Monopro, i think they are alright had them for about 1k miles now, they can feel bit harsh on its hardest setting but ok once wind them to soft. As for ride height really is up to you mine sits about 20mm ish off the arch and back of the exhaust can scrape occasionally but not too bad.

thanks for the reply, yea the previous owner didn't have the manual/let me know how to adjust(nothing youtube cant help with but thought i'd ask people ) so I was left to find the info myself. Do mine being dual tech have the option to wind them down to be softer or is it only height that I can adjust?

I was considering titanium one from TOMEI but they are quite noisy sadly and dont really know much about bungs and whether they restrict exhaust movemnt.
have you got an instagram acc?

looked at my coils and yea the damper adjusters are on the tops.
I assume an Instagram acc for the car, if so i don't (I probably should make one)

@Filski maybe a dumb question but if you have your at 20mm off the arch would tire pressure affect that? would it be better to measure from the coils?
not dumb question at all I think tyre pressure would play marginal role with my gap. I run 32 psi all round.
i don’t have issue rubbing at all and I have quite small profile tyre 255 I think on 9.75 j
also my actual arches have been cut to avoid tyre slicing. So I could actually drop with wheels tucked behind the flares
when I installed my coilovers I measured the from top of the strut to bottom collar rather then off the arch and then adjusted

Got another question for you @Filski For your HSD coils have you changed the pre load? if not what do you have it at right now? Just want to make sure mine aren't uneven (and I know it's up to personal preference but thought i might ask )
so I did just that adjusted the colleges to sit the spring so it’s not rattling.

@Filski so I adjusted the ride height and boy it's so much better, I decided to measure from wheel centre to the top arch(aiming for 325mm front 315 back) and boy after i adjust it it's always like 1-2mm off after remeasuring. Starting to think I should just measure the coil length but then i feel like it's going to be off because of tyre being slightly different what great times haha.
