Default How Low should I go ??

Lookin to drop my 2005 WRX, and been advised to go for Eibach springs, and lower it around 30mm.

Any help is appreciated

That is the max you want to drop it.
Any lower and you might have the driveshafts 'popping out' and other issues.
Sleeping policemen will still be easy to traverse too @ -30mm.

Make sure you have it re-aligned by someone who knows what they are doing!
ie PowerStation

Question

Thanks 911
So you reckon the Eibachs are the best option ? Where is the best place to buy these ?
I've got a Scott Lowe splitter coming soon....do you foresee any problems ?

Thanks again

The splitter will obviously limit the overall ground clearance, but the springs are stiffer (by about 10/15%) so you just approach ramps/curbs etc gently!

One option you might want to explore first, ask a Subaru Dealer about the ppp springs for a classic, some have written on Snet that they are good!
For Eibach, talk to PowerStation.

I believe Prodrive sell their own spring kit for WRX MY05 that lower slightly less the car than Eibachs!
