Default Stiffening up a Blob eye wrx

Hi guys,

Anyone know the best lowering springs that are going to stiffen up my blob eye wrx?

Cheers

Luke

If you are looking to stiffen up the ride, that really is the damper.
The springs will make a small difference on roll angle, but how a car feel really is up to the damper valving.

Are you just trying to lower the car a bit with a bit less body roll?
Or are you after a stiffer setup that give better steering response and traction?

Depending on what you need, you may need different things.

Cheers Jerrick....sorry for the slow reply, the scooby has been off the road for a while!

I'm looking to stiffen it up for a bit of track use and at present its a little soft for my liking.

Any ideas what the best avenue to go down is?

Agreed with fawor, you're probably best melting down the WRX and making a very strong ARB from it, then buy and STI to fit it to.

Hi there, I'd go with coilovers, front and rear anti roll bars, drop links and maybe strut braces... A good geo set up and you will have a big difference...

My set up on my previous wrx bug was this

Bc Coilovers
Whiteline droplinks front & rear
Whiteline 24mm rear anti roll bar
Whiteline 22mm front anti roll bar
Front and rear strut braces
Fast road geo set up

The car handled like a dream
