Robbo_G-1981 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I have a little question that I'm sure I will get the answer to. I'm thinking about coilovers as I have found that my rear shock has started to leak so time to upgrade. How low shall I go but still be able to keep as a daily driver? I have been on YouTube and different forums but not come to a definitive answer. Hope to hear some good advice and thanks in advance.

But usually drop it 1-2 inches (25.4mm-50.8mm) below stock height to let people know you got coilovers but around 3-3.5 (76.2mm-88.9mm) to know you low.

savage bulldogs Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Mine is set about 20 mm lower than the standard classic sti (45mm drop on a wrx or uk ) on meister r zeta-r coilovers . Even with a front splitter i haven't had any clearance issues on the road but they were too harsh with the dampening set at 16/ 32 . So it's currently set at 10/32 and it's a much more comfortable ride than a friends bug sti with tein lowering springs . If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
