Hi all. I have a sort of techy question.
I've a Classic WRX that since I got her has been on some unidentifiable "pink" (STi?) uprated shocks and yellow lowering springs that are very stiff. This gives a good ride on smooth tarmac but, as my dad says, is rather like a "coal cart" over the less than quality roads we usually have. Ive put up with the ride, but I'm now considering a change, partly also to accomodate slightly wider tyres (17" wheels + low = not a lot of room !).
Question is;
If I replace the springs with eibachs the ride hight will actually raise a little. Will this have an effect on the dampers (that I dont want to change if I can help it) as they've run 30 odd thou miles & will then need to perform with an increased height/length.
Thanks for any comments....
