itsme Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 So Bmorrij, the ride home was smooth? With the springs is your car lower then boostjunkie?

Boostjunkie Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 So Bmorrij, the ride home was smooth? With the springs is your car lower then boostjunkie? Basically, Bmorrisj's car is exactly the same height as my car is right now. A small, but noticable drop. I measured it at 1.25" front and 1" rear. It will probably settle a tad.

SuperhawkLGT Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 So who can comment on stock ride Vs new springs? See post #5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scans007 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 S-techs = Sweet ride, but def stiffer then stock.....(I also have front/rear swaybars, and front strut bar, so that will also make it a lil more rough) When I get my tune all fixed up, you can take ride on them if you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hifiandmtb Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I am just looking to lower not stiffen, I had eibach pros in my WRX and they were not too stiff. I'm afraid you can't have one without the other. Stock springs are designed to use the total suspension travel without taxing the bumpstops. Lowered springs need to work within the same parameters, so they must be stiffer. However, there's stiff & then there's stiff. My Whiteline Controls are 20% firmer than standard but ended up riding pretty much like stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperhawkLGT Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 Ok, as close to stock as posible. What are stock spring rates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
