I have been offered a full set of springs and shocks from a 98 Sti type R to fit onto my 98 non imported turbo wagon. I have a couple of questions.

Will they fit straight on to my car without any problems?
Will they lower the car?
The all important question, will the improve the handling of the car?

Hopefully someone can help.

Cheers

Alan

scruff,

they should fit no probs. they will lower the car and will make the ride stiffer. to give you an idea, the spring rates for your mota would be around 150F 140R and for the RA, about 280F and 250R.

re. improvements in handling, i think it will be a vast improvement providing the dampers aren't knackered. some people prefer a smoother ride though.
