Uprated non lowering springs, does such a beast exist?!

[The_Bronze]

Hi all,

 

So I've now turned my attention to the chassis on the Impreza.

 

I want to effect a few mods to the power and handling side of the car but externally I want it to remain looking like a stock 2000 turbo.

 

I've just fitted a Whiteline 22mm adjustable rear ARB and the difference is crazy! gone is the mild, floaty understeer, car feels to have a lot more grip and is now more predictable, happy!  definitely for £139 all in!

Also incredibly easy, I did it in the rain last night under feeble torch light in 25 minutes, and I'm not the fastest worker.

 

I'm going for a full bushing refresh with all the main suspension bushes being done first, I'm going to do it gradually over time.  I'm not a fan of polyurethane bushes so I'm going to be going with Group N stuff where possible.

 

I'd also like some uprated springs but again, to maintain the stealth look and to retain full driveability I'd prefer uprated springs which either don't drop the car at all or only very, very slightly ( one inch or less, ideally.)

 

I'll also be fitting new dampers, probably KYBs.

 

I don't want coilovers as good sets are costly and also seem to ride way to firmly, so does anyone know of a set of springs which are uprated but don't appreciably lower the car?

I run elbach pro springs with the standard uk turbo strutts they're progressive rate , so not too stiff on the straight but stiffen up under load (in the corners)

Think they lower the uk turbo and wrx 30 mm to the height of a standard sti
