Gtworx bilstein shocks and RCE blacks
Wassup everyone! I'm pretty new to the subie world. I picked up a 2011 wrx limited hatchback 4 months ago and haven't been the same since. Hahah I love driving again! My current mods are a
COBB TBE
COBB STAGE 2 TUNE
KART BOY SS
I have been wanting to purchase the bilstien strut and rce blacks and was wondering what people thought of them for a DD. Did you have any issues with rubbing on bigger rims? I would like to purchase some 18x9 or 9.5 in the future but would like to avoid fender rolling. Were long drives annoying? Anyone got before and after photos of there setup for comparison?
Thanks

Car Info: STI Hatch - 2012
I have them, they are a bit harsh (although I have an STI) - prefer them over coilovers because they don't lower the car..
If you want to lower the car and pay less for a EURO like setup, check out Tire Rack and Search for #29040.2 (those as for the 2011 WRX's - the STI's have a different part number)

H&R uses Bilstein Monotube Inverted Dampers, Lifetime Warranty, Stainless Body, Progressive springs for the street. Only problem with them is like most coilovers, they cannot raise the car to stock height.
Cheaper than buying the RCE Blacks Springs w/ RCE Bilsteins and most likely, better quality (body is stainless and internals will definitely be pretty close to the Bilstein PSS10's). TireRack is currently selling em for less than 1100$.
