Be prepared for buckled alloys if you do go to 60mm!

Especially if the roads near you are as sh1te as they are round here

Hello scooby lovers all over,

I need some advice on suspension.

I have just had 17 inch Fox 6's stuck on my car and am needing to lower it abit. However, my car aint a turbo and getting springs for a scooby that aint a turbo is proving very difficult.

Does anyone know where i can get springs for a NON TURBO scooby?

Cheers

Springs for the turbo cars should work just fine. The only consideration is that the turbo Impreza probably sits a little lower than the non-turbo cars stock, so they aftermarket springs will probably lower your ride height a little more than advertised. I would recommend Eibach Pro-Kit springs, only lower about 30mm and are still comfortable for the street.

Baz,
I have got Eibachs on my Sport, fitted without problems.
As said lowered car about 30mm. Had them fitted at the same time as bumpsteer and geometry, so I cannot really say how much difference they made on their own, but they get good reports on here most of the time.
