I have an 02 WRX and wish to lower it slightly, anyone know what makes for a good choice of kit for this, and what kind of drops can i hope for without;

1, damaging anything
2, adversly effecting handling
3, Looking silly

Currently still running standard WRX 17's with slightly wider RE070.

Any help would be great.

Prodrive or Eibachs will do a set which should lower the car by about 20mm or so and should improve handling without compromising the ride overly..

 

thanks, was kind of hoping for more of a drop than that though, but hey..

do you know how much these sets are, and would i have to have anything adjusted or is it a case of fit and play?

 

I'm just about to get the Prodrive kit - around £200 plus vat for the springs and bumpstops plus fitting on top which varys wildly on where you take it so worth shopping around..
You'll probably also want/need the geometry done as well - for instance you could go for the prodrive fast road set up etc - again price will vary but up to and around a £100 for four wheel alignement depending on how much adjustment is required.
