My 08 DGM Impreza
 
I've had the car for a few years now, never really drove it. But had little things done here and there.. Sport grille, rear chrome piece replaced with color matched STi one, lowered on Eibach Springs before, Perrin Short Antenna, OEM front lip, Blox Neo chrome shift knob, etc.

A few weeks ago.. I had Speed Element order some BC Racing Coilovers for me, and installed the Seibon STi spoiler on the same day.

Then a few days after, I borrowed some Rota Torques just to see how I would like them. On stock alignment still, notice the zero camber upfront, lol.

A week ago, the front lip got torn off when I was driving :( Hopefully, I'll be replacing it next week though.
And... currently I finally got some wheels I like! NEW fitment, Rota Grids 17X9.5 +35. I had Auto Innovation install some 235/40/17 on them! -2.3 upfront, -3 rear. Maxed out the camber uptop and bottom in the front, rear isn't camber adjustable sadly =( So what you see in the rear, is natural.

It looks like your running crazy negative camber. And your only on springs?!!!

:rolleyes:

To OP: Nice ride! I just got the same color 2011 Impreza 2.5i wagon base myself. Best color ever!

Got any pics when you were on Eibach springs? How was it? Did you blow your struts/shocks?

VDMTom Nov 9, 2010 08:59 PM

I do have pictures when it was on eibach but I'll post later when I'm home

I don't think it was blown after inspecting them, just wanted to upgrade or go lower I mean

AlanNgo7 Nov 10, 2010 10:55 AM

They ride for street wise, its pretty good. It's smooth if you don't put it super stiff dampening(anything over 17 out of 30) I'm about 1/4 of maxing the height out before removing collars, and they ride fairly fine on the street with 8/30 dampening. I do not plan on removing the collars.

0 is softest
30 is stiffest is what I go by.

Gancherov Nov 11, 2010 10:51 AM

I believe the "standard" way to adjust dampers is to start at full stiff and count clicks as you go towards soft, apparently that is an important detail.

Don't know if that is how you did it but you may want to keep it in mind. I only mention it because of the way you were counting clicks makes it sound like you did it a different way.

VDMTom Nov 16, 2010 09:42 PM

The way I learned from Speed Element.. maybe I'm phrasing it incorrectly.

Anyway,
Here's a updated look.
