Hi guys, I am after a cheap suspension upgrade for my WRX. Previous owner reckoned it had already been upgraded with suspension from an STI RA but personally I think he was talking out of his ****! I have no idea of how to identify what is actually on there but there is several inches between the arch and my 17's so am assuming standard WRX? I am not interested in coilovers because A. They are out of my budget B. Have had coilovers on other cars and they ride to harsh for my liking and tend to snap springs. Would a standard set of STI shocks and springs give me a bit of a drop and improvement in handling? Alternatively what about just a set of STI or Tein springs, is there a difference in the actual damper between WRX & STI or are they both the same?
As always, your advice/opinions are appreciated. Chief
