Just work on handling, you can make them handle fairly inexpensively, and although it may not have the most power, it won't need it.

okay I will have to invest in some thanks. I thought about doing coilovers a while ago or a eibach pro kit but not sure about how it would work out in south east pa. Do you guys scrape alot?

Im not sure what your road conditions are like over there but here in CA its pretty bad in certain area's. Im only lowered about an 1.2-1.5" or so but I only rubbed on my tires with a full load of people and have yet to scrape. What do you plan to do for your car?

probably bout the same. I was thinking about coilovers but they are so expensive compared to springs.

I also was looking at maybe a eibach pro kit. You guys have any suggestions. My budget would only be like 250 or less right now.

From memory the pro-kit comes with springs, swaybars, and endlinks for a relatively cheap price? The sways are good however I believe they are hollow which IMO isn't the greatest.. Also the springs are only really helpful if you get aftermarket struts/shocks. Some people are saying their $550 race land coils are great but who knows lol. |

I don't know about you newer guys but I had them on my 06 2.5i wagon for six months and now have them in my 04 WRX with no problems. They don't make a huge difference in handling, but it is noticeable. It's also the perfect drop in my opinion, not too low to get into trouble, but you can tell it's dropped. |

Later on I will upgrade the struts, but for now they're holding up fine. |

And it's funny that Subaru itself will sell you stiffer springs (STI pink springs) and still warranty your struts.

I'll admit I have racelands. I drove 5000 miles on them and for the price they are great they are a little stiff but not bad. It improves the handling a lot over stock but they do become softer over time. I just needed a cheap suspension till next summer when I'm selling the car and picking up a Rex. But that's just my experience

Good thing you drove past that tree just in time, before it fell down.
