Hi all - Well my suspension, V7 non adjustable STi, was destroyed in a small accident and the body shop made it worse by installing SPT struts/springs on the Starboard side of my '03 wagon - it's not doing well.

I loved my relatively overdamped and under sprung wagon, smooth not bouncy at all. It was fine for freeway driving, which I do a lot of, it was a little harsh on the small speed bumps but on the larger speed bumps I could sail over them and I never bottomed out. On hard turns it was relatively flat with very little body roll - very good setup for me.

Can someone let me know if they have a setup that gives them firmness without being bouncy on an '02 or '03 wagon?

 

im pretty sure the SPt wagon struts are the same as the V7 sti ones......

can anyone confirm

Thanks, got a confirmation - The struts are the same but they have different spring rates so all I've got to do is match springs and I'll be okay again.

Thanks for the note.

 

Whit, I have OEM struts with 6K miles on them and H&R sport springs. Great drop, without the rice bounce. Feels firm too. Let me know if you want em'. Just sitting in my garage.

 

you could get v7 sti wagon struts...that's what I'm looking at for my 04. springs and struts.
