Here are the pics after the new V7 S202 Spec C Suspension. You will notice that the whole car lowered by ~0.500-.750 inches.

Verdict: I love it! The wagon feels much better in handling. More nimble and responsive. With that said, the ride is harsher but not too much. You definitely notice it on the man hole covers and potholes (although I try to avoid them by habit). On these you feel a sharp hard bump. You will also feel the road better but this is not noticable from the low profiles. On the turns (street corners) I take them around 50 mph and it feels perfect. On the Highway Exit I took it at 75 and it stuck no loosy goosy feeling at all. I hope this helps. If you got some time, I can give you a ride on the wagon.

HAHA -- good way to get my attention

looks good! did you get an alignment yet?

 

Why did you end up getting spec c instead of jdm sti wagon suspension? The reason I ask, is I plan on getting jdm subaru suspension of some sort and was considering all my options. I'm not wanting to go coilovers but I do want something more aggressive.

 

jdmsti wagon suspension is your best choice if you own a wagon. Only downside is that you won't really be any lower than stock. I think the spec-Cs will lower .5-.75 inches (as WRXDAD mentioned) and most likely (not sure) have a more aggressive spring rate and dampening. The issue w/ spec-Cs is that they are designed for a sedan and you won't get that much front negative camber.

 

Right on. Thanks for the tip. I can't wait to get that new suspension. It's too bad more focus isn't put on the development specifically of wrx wagon components. I prefer the sleeper look to the higher profile sedan. I'm running catless so the less cop attention the better. Wish the wagon suspension lowered the car a bit though to improve the stance.

 

Say that again brother! -.1° was all I can get. Sucks I know. I went and got the alignment but I am not happy with the alignment job (no it's not a chain store). My steering is to the left in order to keep it straight. I am a bit bummed about it.

 

Heh.. It was the name! Spec C.. Naw.. It was the fact that it was a racing suspension and more agressive. Plus it lowered but not too much. I can't lower cause I have 225/40/18s and didn't want to rub. Hope that helps!

 

Helps alot. I needed someone to confirm where I was going to take my wagon next. Hope your alignment gets worked out. I know of a guy in the Bay Area that does great alignment jobs and if your intersted pm me and I'll send you his info.
