ive never owned a subaru before and only been in classic before i had this newage, whats the standard setup feel like to drive?

mine feels constantly stiff (ooh arh lol ) so just at normal town speeds of 30mph and below you feel a constant bounce in all the seats. is this normal or could there be something gone on the car, as i know the sti are supposed to be stiffer, but this feels like a trackslag on the road. i run tyre pressures on the standard 17" rims at 33 and 32 psi.

i know its not a bmw or a merc, but is everyones the same and is this normal?

 

bump

 

try driving an impreza with a set of tein coilovers, then u know stiff! lol

 

lol, maybe its just me, hurts my man ***** lol

 

all i can suggest is a join the gym? lose the man *****= no pain in them and u'll feel better for it too! lol

 

I have a standard wrx and it does bounce just like you said. I`m sure its normal.

 

goes with the territory mine does exactly the same but " no pain no gain" you got one hell of a car there just enjoy,,,,

 

i have an 05 wrx, i thought it lurched around on the standard suspension - too much for a sports car.

i don't think there's any good reason to keep the std springs (except lack of cash!) - get the prodrive ones and it handles like a different car. and there's no downside to those either, the ride's as good, but minus the lurch...you can of course go much stiffer with teins etc but something tells me that's not what you're after

roads where the car used to wobble around over uneven sections are now much better - sure not as smooth as bmw setups but much more capable than before...

 

Prodrive or Eibach springs and uprate the ARB - totally different car to drive.
