Will STI8 springs raise ride height of 1995 WRX?
I recently bought a set and have now been told that they will raise the ride height which i dont want, wouldnt mind if it is 5mm or something really small though.
Any ideas?

Help!
Dont wanna start fitting them and buying spring clamps and right height is too high.
Was told they will harden the car up, thats why i bought them as there is a bit of roll in the car

BUT, the STI8 is heavier so the springs will be stronger but equal length so the car will sit higher.. if that makes sense

nope
find out how much more heavy the sti8 is, add the extra wieght to yours and see how far it would drop on your standerd springs (paving slabs on the bonnet will suffice)
then measure and compare cars hieghts and use sum clever judgment to enable you to carefull esttimate how much the sti8 is uprated over your car, bearing in mind your car is older and a bit more saggier then a new sti8, then put all your figures into a nice pie or bar chart to enable you to make the right desicion
