Anyone know the spring rates of the stock springs?

That means 08 WRX spring fit our car. I could have bought them for $200 instead of $400 & gotten another 1/2" drop. That sucks. At my local WBM caravan some people didn't even realize my hatch was lowered.

What I'm after is a stiffer ride and less body roll. I hope this is what I find.

So I got my RS*R springs installed today. I am very happy with them. Firm but not harsh. Increased road feel. Less body roll when taking corners. Before the drop, the ground clearance is approximately 6 1/2 inches (bottom of side skirt to the ground); after the drop, it was 5 inches all around. Not bad. Im pleased =)
Anyhoo, on to some crappy cell phone pics. Rims are coming at the end of the month. Cant wait. and lastly, something I got as a bday gift from the gf. The TWM Phantom Shift knob. I love it. It compliments the Kartboy short shifter quite nicely. |

thanks man!
It was only a matter of time eh? hehe Thanks for all the assistance! Im very happy with em. Quote:
Another member has installed the RSR and has done an alignment. He indicated it was pretty much back to spec parameters. Except for maybe the rear camber at -1.9 if I recall correct. Even then, thats still within spec. |

Where can I go to order the rsr springs. Can't wait for H&R to come out with theirs. Please advise. Extremely tired of the tire and fender gap.

I did and I got a weird response asking for a part number before they can help me. I told them the model and year of my impreza and states I wanted the rsr lowering springs.

Strange but the sedan with the RS-R looks lower than your buddies with the Tein S-techs I also read on here that many people are unhappy with the S-Techs.

Wes_888 who did you work with? I'll try the email u posted. Today I got a response asking me how low I wanted to go, I said max 2 in and they responded with: what's that in mm. Kind a scary.

Ben from RS*R is ordering a bunch, I would call and see if you can reserve a set. Don't be scared, just do it!

Ya. Emailed him today and said to reserve as set for me. Much better response from him vs. the previous emails. Thanks for the contact. Will post pics once they are installed.

I was looking to add the sport mesh grill to my silver impreza. I was able to get someone to photos hop it for me. Any opinions?
