I´m getting 17" wheels and want to lower my car(1997) but don´t know which springs to get.
I´m not changing dampers

Eibach -35mm?
H&R -55mm?
Any other?

 

I`ve just put Raceline RL7s 17" on my TypeR, i also have HKS springs fitted which lowe the car by about 35mm. There is no rubbing or fouling problems, and they look superb

A lot of people go for Eibachs. They are said to lower the car approx 20mm without compromising ride

Getting mine later this year....

I have just had Eibach springs fitted. They have lowered the car about 30mm, which looks pretty cool, without being too excessive. They certainly improve the handling. The car feels much more sure when cornering. They don't alter the overall ride of the car too much - it feels slightly harder, but no where near as much as I was expecting. For about £200 including fitting they are well worth it.

 

i have a set of HR springs on my MY99.the car is lowered 50 mm.so, you must correct de shocks.
depending of the wheels you are fitting and its offset you could have problems with tires touching the fenders.

Are the eibach springs ok to use on the STi models,I have a my96 and am thinking of fitting these with standard dampers but i dont want to comprimize the handling!!!!
And yes 17" alloys with 30mm lowered springs look the dogs b******ks
