On H&R coilovers. not aligned yet. 18x9.5 +38 255/35. ruined my lip getting out from that parking lot. i think the spring rates are too high for hawaii and the car is too low for going to the beach. ordered rce yellows and will install those once they come in. looks nice but i think it drive like crap.
OMG that looks amazing! but have you thought about BC Coils. They have dampening adjustments and it doesn't change the ride quality if you adjust height.

i have, but the spring rates are still 8k ~ 450lbs. if i do that i would want a lower spring rate in the 350lbs, but i dont know what that will do to valving. not only that being this low has issues with getting around town and our bad roads/patch jobs, slight offroading when surfing up north, even getting into parking structures for work. i love the way it looks, but its just not worth it to me. RCE's are ordered.

the other big thing is that in hawaii any time you do a modification you need to get recon to be legal. recon has a bunch of test and checks to make sure the car is safe. i could drive the car without recon but if i get pullover i would get huge fines. i drive mainly in town and through waikiki a lot so theres a ton of cops waiting for cars like mines. a friend with tein flex's barely passed and his rates were in the 350lb i think.

well it looks real sick! but I understand why you are raising it.

From the posts above, I like the look of the Epic springs over RCE

ok...so now I completely confused...I was going to get Epic springs for my 2011 wrx, but I read that it gives you a "saggy butt" and they are soft. I read that the rallitek springs are ok, but I can't find them anywhere on their website. I like the look the GREX's swift springs, but GREX, have you noticed any bouncing? I don't want that at all. What do I do?? And please don't say coilovers...I don't have the money for those.

I would not get EPics. They are super soft, and this is the stance me and my buddy got with them. I took them off a week later...

This is what they look like... SAGGY

I like them alot. They are firmer than the stock and to be honest the ride comfort is better than the floaty stock suspension. You go over a bump, the car recovers much quicker and feels much more stable. Bouncy? Not at all...! Stock springs were bouncy!

They are rated to be only 10% stiffer than stock but the difference in handling is huge, comfort levels are similar to stock if not better...

From what I heard (don't take my word for it) Ralitek springs are re-branded Swifts...

Its a DoItYourself exhaust.

You must pump the throttle intermittently while driving around, without ever actually going wide-open-throttle. presto! blue tip exhaust.
