Which would be a good set of struts for my 2.5i to compliment my Tanabe GF210's?

plus you just more or less got a brand new car, why not run your struts till you kill them?

do research while running springs on stock strut...then decide...u might go with a some other set-up in the end...trust me...im at that point right now...

answer: stock struts are not made for a drop...therefore why not change out spring/struts at the same time so u dont have to do it again!

so there are lowering springs out there that are designed NOT to wear out your stock struts? I thought that because you where operating the struts at a lower ride hight that it would wear them out much faster...

Mod please move this to suspension :)

basically, if u plan on lowering your car...ur prolly going to have to change out ur struts too..unless u dont mine taking everything apart again once ur stock struts blow out

Prodrive where designed to work with stock struts. Ours is the same as the WRX struts.

Also what I have now...also what I'm bored of now....
Soon to install Tokico D-spec with RCE yellow springs with group-N mounts.

That being said, D-specs have been the recent popular choice.

Seriously...the mass amount of products and combinations have all been tried by fellow Impreza drivers. Read and then decide for your self. Only you know what you want.
