Another Suspension Thread!!
Hi there. I've got an MY94 WRX which I'd like to lower the ride height on and upgrade the shocks. I've been scrolling through the threads in this section trying to get an idea of the best set up. Basically I'd like to lower the ride height by about 30mm and stiffen up the shocks for enthusiastic driving every now and again! However, I still need it to be relatively comfortable as it is used as an every day car. I'm not really into track days and don't do any racing etc.
I know that there are always compromises with suspension but if anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate the help. Cheers.
Ben

So you want to go round bends faster, but in comfort?
Just fit front and rear Whiteline anti roll bars (rear bar on middle hole setting)and a good alignment by a good specialist, ie Power Station, TSL, Roger Clarke Motorsport and you will be surprised as you will get both.
I promise.

Should I stick with the standard shocks and eibach springs to alter the ride height or try and get some STI struts as some suggest to stiffen it up a little?

Complete Sti suspension legs are a great idea if you have a WRX/UK turbo.
The ace job would be a P1 set-up.
Remember, you will want more and more when you get started.
you have been warned!

Whereabouts did you (911) find the STI struts from? Were they off ebay or from a breakers yard?

H&R are a class spring.
I have my Sti struts carefully locked up incase I want to go back to stock/sell up!
In the for sale section there is a whole Sti set-up for sale!!
You need to live on this Snet for a long time to find the stuff, but it is there.
