Default 2000 OBS Suspension

I have a 2000 OBS. Im trying to decide on a suspension. Do any of you have any advice on what the best, in your opinion, suspension would be for my car?

What is your budget and intended use?

New bushings throughout the car would be a great improvement, especially due to the age of it.

My budget would probably be about $500. (Sorry for the late reply)

i would read through the threads in this stickie:
http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=171928

specifically the fitment threads, to see which other years and models have interchangeable parts with your car. finding used take off components can save you money...

will you be doing the installs yourself?

imagining this is your daily driver, and considering your budget and assuming you don't have any outstanding maintenance issues, i would put priority in new struts and a new alignment, and if there is enough budget left over, consider increasing your rear swaybar size (02-07 rear swaybars will fit your car, so look for wrx take offs), and try to find some quality used springs if want to stiffen up the ride. perhaps RS springs would be stiffer? you'll have to do your homework on that one.

good luck. try using "search this forum" within the suspension subforum to find more info. (it's in the upper right corner) i also have luck using the goooooogle and just typing in search words and "nasioc" and you can usually find relevant info easier than the search.
