Hi All
I want to change out the coilovers in my jdm sti hawk.
Is the uk spec sti suspension the same as the jdm?

thanks

Yes.

so the shocks and spring rating are the same.

Only things that look different are the Springs (which is not unusual)

You can get the OEM KYB dampers new but they are not cheap.

RB320 springs will be better for UK roads than OEM UK or JDM springs.

Although I've got a bit of a Frankenstein setup going on with my suspension, I have RB320 rears and S05 fronts (virtually identical rates to the LE07 RB320 spring rate, albeit longer free length and +10mm ride height) and they're great on UK roads with great compliance and enough travel to actually deal with the rough roads that we have. Whether that's what you want or not is down to you but they feel more composed than stock '03 springs while having better ride comfort. And they're significantly better in ride comfort and control than a set of BC 4/5 BR coilovers although on smooth roads the handling isn't as sharp and there is more roll as you would expect from softer and longer travel springs!

Thanks for the heads up @plenty I’ve actually managed to source a brand new set of springs and rear arb from an RB320 as well as a brand new pink sti front 21mm arb.
