Default version 6 sti

As above, is the suspension lower than the p1 ??as my 215/40/17 tyres are catching on the rear??dont no why as have seen a few p1 etc running these tyres??

it mainly does it with abit of weight in but it also does it with just me in goin round corners etc at about 60/7o mph.

any replys or recomendations welcome

cheers craig

unless you go same shocks mate you'll need to do the lot, can't realy do a part replacment on suspension tbh, affects the car to much.

although not sure where in the uk you are try Scooby Clinic | The UK's Largest Independent Subaru Specialists, they do a weekend warrior package which contains kyb shocks, eibach lowering springs and all geom set up. top bit of kit, got them on my classic uk my00(same age as yours )

doh, not good mate.

if you can stratch your budget, go for the rear whiteline antiroll bar, whiteline drop links front and back, antilift kit, and uprated steering rack bush's, prob double the bill for the suspension but since i had mine done its been a totaly different animal
