Talking Spring Choices....

Alright, so I want to get springs and lower my limited STi most likely for mountain/twisties right now. Eventually I'd like to run it on the track, but for now I just want to have some more fun with my car on weekend drives. Here are the choices, so PLEASE share your opinions with me:

(1) JDM pinks (not much lowering?) 2-3 votes
(2) Prodrive (lowered about 1 inch) 2-3 votes
(3) Swift (1.2 in the front and rear) 6 votes
(4) Race Comp Engineering 3 votes
(5) KEEP IT STOCK!!! 4-5 votes
I'd like to keep it stock because I have TONS of fun with my car as is , but I really want to lower it. What to do?!?!

Thanks guys for all of your input with the newbie girl!!
-Kelly :-)

Uh....

Kelly... really only one way to find out. You kind of have to do what I am doing and ask people to ride with them. For me... I am looking for coilovers and with those... hit or miss. Depends on what people are looking for.

I think you should let everyone know what you are looking for other than lowering your car. Daily driver? Mountain and twisties? Tracking and auto-xing? Yeah.

It all depends on how much you want your car lowered. I hear prodrives are pretty good, but i dont know personally.

Lower the car = harder to drive up curbs or over bumps

Kelly, consider, Crucial springs as well. If I didn't have pinks, I'd have crucial black.

Depends on how hard you drive your car. Learn your car and stock stuff then buff it where it needs help.

I'd go with this to, but I just visited the Crucial website, and it looks like it's something they might not stock anymore. I'll check again just to make sure.

Hey Kelly,
I've got a Limited WRX and I have prodrive spings and I'm happy with them.
