Default WRX too low!

My mrs WRX has been lowered too far, it rubs on most wheel arches on bumpy roads etc. And its got no damping at all. She bought it like this!

What would anyone recommend for a good suspension upgrade? Bear in mind she would like some comfort. I have not looked yet but i suspect the springs have been hacked.

Standard or something else?

STI struts ,eibach springs (or even standard springs) are meant to be very good (looking at getting a set for my 93wrx this year)

Scoobyclinic do a package with KYB adjustable struts, springs and an ARB, but that's not a cheap fix.
Maybe you need to find a mint second hand set of standard parts, not easy as even my six year old struts are looking tired now, will need replacing for the next MOT.

I have a set of 05 wrx 'inverted/sti style' struts and springs, which had only done ~12k before being removed..

You would need to source some 05> top mounts, but that shouldn't be difficult or expensive. Powerstation usually have quite a few lying around.. Other than that they should bolt straight on..

PM me if interested..
