classic suspension lowering springs on a newage?
will a set of classic lowering springs fit straight onto a wrx my00 bugeye jdm newage car? or are the bugeyes cars heavier and so incompatible or some other reason why they are different?
as just looking a my standard setup in the pic below, the front of my car seems very high or is this normal?

I'm not sure its as cut and dried as CK makes out, the springs will certainly fit, the newage is heavier so will sit a little lower than intended on classic springs, and they won't effectively be as stiff as intended, however pick the right classic spring to use and it will certainly be a cheap and effective option, for example WRX classic takeoffs will lower an otherwise stock UK WRX by about 25mm and stiffen it up by about 15% (lower UK turbo classic about 20mm and are about 25% stiffer).
