Leda comments
#1
I have a regular set-up on a 4dr STI 6. Will I notice much difference if I go down the Leda route? I realise that the Leda is configurable but I'm just trying to work out if I would really benefit over the regular STI set-up?
Thanks in advance.

In a word yes! The STI6 is a jap import and therefore has the jap suspension setup. You will notice quite a difference on Leda. My father-in-law's MY00 UK turbo has Leda fitted and it transforms the car. The jap setup would have been firmer than the original UK setup, but I still think you will notice better control and ride quality using Leda.

however, the version 6 springs are the stiffest of the STI springs check this link for more info http://www.ravensblade-impreza.com/m...ng/spring.html so if its stiff handling you want, you already have some of the stiffest. If you want to soften it a little, leda would be the way to go, adjust as much as you like.

You should notice a lot of difference, the damping adjustment springs to mind, also the car will not 'skittle' across the roads as much if you go the Leda route, I would'nt say Leda is softer, it just has a lot more damping control than STI suspension which will be fixed rate damping.
