I Agree With The Sti Pinks Or Some Coil Overs Depending On What You Wanna Do With The Car, If Your Gonna Track It Go Coil Overs If Just Adriver Just Go Sti Pinks

I need springs!!! what should i get? I got an 05 STi w/ stock suspension.. and just picked up 18x8.5 gram lights w/ 255-40-18 tires.
I need to drop my car enough to "tuck" em'... but not so much as to where my car would be "slammed"
I was thinking with going Swift for springs which would provide a clean drop and maintain the stock geometry of my suspension...
Anyone out there runnin 18's w/ a clean drop??? if so whatcha got
and I was told that rolling my fenders is a must, so i'm thinking LIC for that..
TIA peeps!

Jon
that fact that you are running 255's means you will have to roll the rear fenders.

LIC rolled my fenders without cracking the paintwork, now I fit 245/40/18 tires without any rubbing issues.
