A while back I fitted a set of Eibach pro spring kit to my 93 WRX

Although they are lowered springs, I didnt really notice a difference in the height although I am happy with the difference in ride compared to standard set up.

Has any one fitted some proper lowering springs -40 + and if so what make were they? Any photos much appreciated

I have considered coilovers for going so low but dont think I can afford them

cheers Phil.

I wouldn't go any lower than a 30mm drop on a classic mate, you'll impair the ride and handling.

I don't mind about the harshness etc of the ride.

Cheers I understand going too low will affect the handling

Just that the gap between tyre and arch is a little high for my liking

As the WRX is about 20mm lower than a UK turbo, a set of 25mm lowering springs for a UK turbo won't lower your's! (it will have sagged at least 5mm by now!)

What about fitting STI shocks?

Maybe 17" wheels will improve the gap between the arch and tyre.

phil84

Would the STI shocks make a difference??? I've got KYB's on there now

and 17's as well.

How does this compare to yours? So to speak

V5 Sti shocks and springs, 17" with 215 /45 fitted on them.

I thought sti and eibach springs were about the same rate. I could be wrong.

Wish mine was that low

I used to have a set of 50mm H+R's matey, they were nice and low and good on the road also:



The Tein lowering springs are also very low

phil84

cheers for the input

these are the list next job after re-fitting my splitter

STI-R/A

Hi there sorry to butt in but where is the best place to buy these kits? i cant find any distributors for the H+R's, i had them on my old ra and they were good.
Cheers.

Would also like to know as seem to be able to find Tein kits everywhere but none for H&R

cheers

apex are supposed to be good.. heard they are formed the same way as eibach are and their pretty cheap! teins are wellllllll pricey

orbix

apex are softer than eibach.
Whiteline flatout are suppose to lower your car quite a bit if thats the look your going for.

phil84

Going to compare Whiteline flatout now to the likes of Apex.

Cheers
