Hi guys, just wondering if anyone can help me i have a 2003 WRX Impreza and looking to upgrade the suspension. Wondering would it be worth just swapping to the STI shocks and springs or is the WR1 set up any different.
Any help would be great cheers Sam.

 

The best upgrade is the Whiteline 22 or 24mm rear ARB with solid droplinks.
The WR1 suspension will be 7 years old, so well past its best.
Eibach and Prodrive sell lowering springs.
Fast road suspension setup will transform the car with the above.

 

ok cheers so you reckon its not worth buying the suspension? and would i need to do anything with the front?
Would you bother changing the springs.
thanks for your help mate

 

Try the car with rear ARB first. I'm more than happy with just the rear done. I can't get the car to understeer, yet the rear is still mobile with the 24mm bar. If you go 24mm, you need a smoother driving style. If you prefer the rougher approach , go 22mm. Personally I wouldn't bother with 7yr old STI bits.
