james26 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Looking to see the difference between lowering a forester with wrx impreza shocks & springs & lowering with wrx wagon shocks and springs.... I'm really stuck on which one to do. Cheers :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I was looking at these on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Subaru-Impreza-WRX-GC8-1993-2001-Adj-Coilovers-Shock-Absorber-Struts-RPF-/141190881119?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3ASubaru%7CCars+Type%3A2.0+Turbo+GT+4WD&hash=item20dfa1df5f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 spring rate on that coilover kit is ridiculous for uk roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 spring rate on that coilover kit is ridiculous for uk roads. Do you mean on terms of how low it goes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 No spring rates, 10kg/mm front 6kg/mm rear, awful on the road, actually almost dangerous due to reduced grip & risk of being bounced of track on usual ruts etc on b-roads. They wouldn't last 12 months before MOT failure but you probably crash before that. Far better off going WRX if you lower it. Also to check SLS status don't rely on canister or colour as later range of Tokico SLS are black & without canister, get the part number which is stamped on the strut & run it in Google or Subaru parts database. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Don't know much about this topic tbo [emoji5] But have you looked into saggy butt spacers (que gambit lol) http://www.paranoidfabrications.com/shop/category/subaru-impreza/saggy-butt-spacers/ Apparently they stop the extra weight of the foz making the rear end sit lower when using the wrx set up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
