Hi All,
A while ago there was a thread going that the H&R springs lower a WRX/Impreza GT by 40-50mm and that this is too much for the standard shocks.
Today I finally got around to measuring the ride height from centre of wheel to guard.
F: 335mm
R: 325mm
This represents a change in ride hide over standard MY99/MY00 WRX/Impreza GT as follows:
F: -25mm
R: -20mm
Well within the limits of the standard shocks.
I hope this helps anyone who was interested in these springs. I still believe that they are the best modification I have done to my car. Smoother ride, better looks and much better handling.
Regards,
David
