i have them on mine

it doesnt lower it a lot

my mates have the H&R 50mm springs and theres are lower

it sits a little bit lower then the standerd wrx stuff i had when i got it,
i fitted them with new uk turbo shocks all round and the ride is amazing compared with the rock hard coilovers i had before.

i actualy really like how it drives now, its firmer then the uk turbo springs i had lent from a mate and its probably a touch stiffer then the standerd wrx stuff i had.

if i bought another scoob i would buy the same springs again, ive seen them go for about £80 on ebay (i payed about £110 from memory)

here it is on 17" alloys @ the NBO2



those wheels have now been sold tho and ive got my eyes on sum black chrome 18" ones (when funds allow )

should be ok at -35mm mate though will definately loose comfort just lowered my my/oo approx 40mm looks cool but i expect most people on here would hate the ride,bought the koni kit where you have to chop the struts and put inserts in,ha ha had fun fitting it lol,does handle mint though.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...d/PICT0037.jpg its dropped about another 3/4 inch since this pic!!! wouldnt go with g-max meself i wouldnt want to put cheap springs on a scooby,mates have had em and didnt rate them much.
