Okay guys need your help. Just ran a friggin' search about this and read a forum that gave me a friggin' head ache. v7, v8, kyb's with pinks, ky jelly with full vibrator, GGB, HIV, STD blah blah blah. Frick!!

I read that 808subaru posted the last post and sounded just as frustrated as I am. I meant to ask you at the TFT cruise what suspesion you went with. Im already your damn twin, so if I drop my car then it will be even similar. (Sorry what can I say I have great taste. ) I was looking at the GGB STi v7 or v8 struts and springs. Just want to get your's or anyone elses imput. Also what is the ball park $$$. City and County employee, not a lot of Scrip. Thanks.

^^^Awesome post!

 

i'm running tein flex's on my bew. i like the ride and adjustability.

 

^^^How much drop. Im not looking for a drastic drop, cause I would not be able to leave my building, driveway sucks (already scrape with stock height). I heard the STi supension isn't as drastic. Sorry such a noob.

 

Go with the ky jelly

I've had it to where you can't get a horizontally level ruler between the wheel well and the top of the tire. That was with 225/45/16's on it.

Now I can easily get a finger in there, the car is corner balanced and very level and I'm using 215/45/17's (I'd still rather have 225).

The ride is phenomenal. It's high enough that I don't have to slow much at all for speedbumps, and 'driving with an attitude' over rocky, uneven terrain is fun. Little to no loss of traction and it goes where I point it.

 

stay away from the HIV and STD coilovers...they have a bad rep...

 

^^^ Not as bad with the latex covers I hear.

 

Anyone know anything about the GGB suspension? Just the STi suspesion made specifically for Wagons? Right?

Ooops double post sorry

 

i went with tein s-techs. if i were you, i'd save my money and buy coilovers. the ride is nice, and the stock struts go bad on spring only setups. sit tight, a used set always pops up on this forum.

 

for slightly better performance i got a set of MY04 STi suspension and put it in my wifes 03 BEW(got em for free). the ride height is the same. depending on your budget.. i'm a major cheapskate/chang when it comes to buying stuff. if u want the look/ride quality and performance... i must say that ty's(wrexed) wagon felt really good with the tein flex's.
