SUP EVERYBODY... I GOT A 04 WRX AND IM TRYIN TO FIND A GOOD SUSPENSION KIT, OR ANYTHING TO HELP OUT THE CAR HANDLE BETTER ON THE STREETS...BEEN LOOKING AROUND BUT COULDNT FIND ANYTHING UNDER 1000 BUCKS THATS WORTH GETTING...HMM, MAYBE I CANT BE STINGY WITH MONEY FOR THIS PART OF THE CAR BUT ANYWAY HELP ME OUT ALL YOU GUYS OUT THERE THAT KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS THAN I DO...TANKS YEAH...

 

Before somebody else says it HIT THE CAPS LOCK key before typing.. Check out SpeedGear alot of guys on here like them and they seem to take care of customers..I am partial to the Tein I have personally never owned a set of Tein coilovers but have heard good things about them. Try doing a search also it really boils down to what are you going to be doing with the car are they going to be for looks or are you going to Auto-X, track days, I think that if you only want the car lowered then a good set of springs would be fine. ($.02) I am sure somebody will point you in the right direction.

 

yeah, turn off the damn caps lock. then go take a look into STi takeoffs. you should be able to score a set for less than $1000 (mine were like $700). they'll lower the car about 1/4"-1/2" and do wonders for the car's handling. try giving Gruppe-S a call, they might be able to help you out.

 

It does depend on what you want to do with the car.
a set of lowering springs alone is NOT going to make your car handle better, ... your stock struts will blow in a short period of time. So if you don't want coilovers, you should buy a set of springs and struts, ... which will run you about Roughly $250 for the springs, and $450-550 for the struts. So you're spending $800 or so (maybe more) on a setup that is not adjustable, etc.
That's why I'd say if you're going to race the car at all (autoX, track day,etc), saving a little more $$ up to buy coilovers is definitely worth it!



oh yeah, ... you're not allowed to ask technical questions in this forum.
and we at Speed Gear can get you whatever setup you wish.

 

Bawahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

hey sean, you work at speed gear now? hook it up with some deals!

 

I can and will dude!!

I haven't "officially" begun to work there, but yes, ... I work there.
And Mike does too.
My thoughts are, ... we will be able to use more of Farid's resources than he's been able to, he's a busy man!! So basically whatever you want, we should be able to get.
I plan on posting a thread once everything is worked out, so stay tuned.

 

I knew you'd get a kick out of that! just a shameless plug! lol!

 

Ok... Turn off the Caps lock, no technical questions in this forum, stock struts will blow eventually...ok i think im slowly learning... next question is whats this " auto X " everyone keeps talking about... I think i wanna check it out. sounds like fun especially if it can help me understand this whole sport a little better. is there anyone out there that could help me out....I wonder?
