Those Perrin's get rid of the fender gap nicely. What's the front/rear drop on those?

which springs did you have? do you remember how many finger gap you had in the front and rear?

the springs that came with the car i bought has about a 3.5 fingered gap in the front and 2-3 in the rear. I hope the progress springs will drop the car more then that so i don't waste my money on them.

Here's my car on Progress Springs, lowers the car 1.8 in Front and 1.5 in Back. I say get Progress, costs almost half as Perrin and they are designed to work well with the stock struts. Plus they're goin for $125 on Ebay now, they're usually $189

GottaREX....how's your car in the snow? Get much fender pack? have trouble clearing stuff?

I drive in the snow a lot..that's why I bought my wrx. But I love to drive hard and the stock height pisses me off I was gonna just go with 18's but I'd rather have 17's and a small drop but I'm scared my wagon will rub every which way.

My car handles pretty well in the snow. Now that I have all season tires, it's harder to do drifts compared to having stock tires. Yes the fender wells gets pretty packed with snow. It's normal, all you gotta do is take time and clean them all off. Not once have I gotten stuck with my car though :banana:
