Many thanks chris for the hand fitting the coilovers and for the bacon sandwiches gem.

I have to say they are way to hard. it's very bumpy, handles really well but it's a to harsh ride, i can see why you swapped. great for on track but just too hard for the raod. I'll have a a shop around tomorrow to see if I can some softer springs

WRX RCY GEM

You are very welcome Dan.

Now I did warn you they were stiff didn't I.LOL .Well if you get hold of some springs just let us know and Chris will give you a hand again.
Car looks so much lower though

Cheers gem.

I'll be shopping around today

Couldn't find softer springs, I can see why you changed them now!! great for a track car but way to hard for the road. If they were like DAz's car I could of lived with that, but these are in another story.

I've purchased STI pink suspension today off a late model STI 6 ltd, which should be here tomorrow, Should have them on for the weekend!!!

If any body wants some very hard Cusco's coilovers for the track, drop me a PM

Blast and I said I wasn't going to spend any more on the car!!!!

Nice find Danny reputed to be the best you can get. Tried Coilovers etc but you cant beat the set up on a Version 6 Sti thats a fact.Ask Roger Clark Motorsport

Cheers Si, I had to replace mine as it was knocking, thought the coilovers would be hard but okay, how wrong was I!!!!!!

Bob Rawle told me a while ago that STi 5 or 6 with whiteline ARB, droplinks and anti lift kit is an awesome set up.

It's an expensive set to buy new, more than a set of coilovers!!! I think it's about £1350.

If they have the original pink springs keep them i changed mine for Tein S Tech ones it was lower on the Sti springs.

DannyBoy007

Will do, but I'm pretty sure they are a completly standard setup.

Company called falkners make coilover springs to any rate you want.

But that still might not be soft enough

And there is you thinking you had a bargin.

Onwards and upwards for the go car. Unlucky Dan it was worth a try. Some one on the bay will have them.

WRX RCY GEM

Yes I am affraid we didn't cover the truth at all , they are as hard as nails.

If you do get hold of a set before the weekend Chris would offer to help out again but he is working every day this week so it won't be till next week.

And they were a bargin ( if someone does track days that is)

DannyBoy007

Cheers gem, you didn't sugar coat the truth!!! they are very hard. It's okay, after sunday's help and guidance I'll be able to change them myself. It's quite streight forward, Daz is bringing up some axle stands tonight.

The pinks should be here today, can't wait to get them on and give it try

WRX RCY GEM

I was getting worried then ,that you would have to drive to the Pod with them. . We shall see you Saturday

DannyBoy007

If they had been as hard as Daz's it wouldn't of been a problem, but these are something else. Shame as she corners so sweet and sits really nice.

WRX RCY GEM

Just showing the difference is size. I was very shocked at the size of the standard

DannyBoy007

iTrader: (7)

arh they do look nice on the car, if only they weren't to harsh

fatmanscooby

Dont forget it will all need realigning m8 Prodrive settings work well

DannyBoy007

iTrader: (7)

Had a go of an M plate WRX with cussco's on and you are right they are damm hard even on the softest, don't think i could live with them with the roads round here.

Think i might go for for Tein Super Streets like WRX RCY when my shocks give up, i like the idea of the EDFC.

Try one of these Danny

Well they are on and wow, they are fantastic. Thanks very much David at API, I've just taken her for a little spin, even in the rain, the cornering speeds are improved, they are stiffer and lower than the standard uk shocks and springs but still very comfortable and there is very little body roll.




Standard Uk shocks


The Very hard Cusco's, loved the look and they are lighter than the standard set up,



The cusco's are smaller than the STI's


And now the perfect set up for me




Worth every penny, even it's £520 out my bar fund

Glad you got it sorted Dan and that you are happy with it.

Thanks for the business Dan, Glad we got you sorted.

Have it set up:

.5mm toe in every wheel. Buy some camber adjusters if you haven't got them and set the cambers at .5 negative individually on all four wheels.

Hard [ alloy rear drop links ] from us and an anti lift kit then leave it alone.

That will be dead right and cost effective too.

Cheers david,

I've already got your alloy droplinks. This made a difference having this on.

Already have whiteline ARB's and strut brace's front and back.

Just need the Anti lift kit and then I'll have it alligned

Thanks once again

Mine are Pink not red with Pink springs. They also have an adjustment dial of some kind on them.
