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

 

While I'm on the topic, for all those interested these are the spring rates in pounds per inch

Standard
F: 157
R: 149

H&R
F: ?-204.1
R: ?-193.7

Eibach
F: ?-171
R: 91-188

P1
F: 215
R: 195

A range indicates progressive rate springs.

David
