OK,
I have just read through about six months of suspension threads to get an idea of what the different types of suspension look like on the Impreza and have to say there is a big lack of pictures to back up the talk, so I would like to set up this thread which should be useful for people looking to lower / uprate their suspension as well as the chance for you to prove how LOW your car really is.
What is required is a picture , and a short statement of the suspension modification.

Let the best (and lowest) car win.

Let it roll...............

Talking

That's because a lot of people on here don't care what it looks like, so much as care how the car handles. It looking lower is an asthetic by-product, though a nice one.....

Stu's suspension is Leda B (i know 'cos i bought his old STiV dampers when he changed). The car does look bloody good doesn't it... how low did you go Stu? Is it the normal -35mm at the front and -30mm at the back?

hello again tone. thanks for comments kevy. they are leda b which as you know are ride height/damping adjustable. i got the ride height as low as it would got without rubbing the arches then lifted it a few turns turns. abp motorsport set the corner weight distribution after that. i didnt measure the difference in height though.

i took the spoiler and the stickers off because i think it looks better plain and simple and because it attracts less attention from thieves and jackers.
