What's up everyone! I have an 02 wrx, it's all stock. I want to upgrade the suspension but I'm new to all this. So I was just look for advice on how I should go about the upgrade. I do want it a little lower then it is now so I was thinking about getting the jdm sti pink springs, I like the 1 inch drop. What all should I replace? Springs, struts, etc.. Thanks guys!

Struts, I say Koni's they're on spring sale right now too. Check tirerack etc they have them. Springs, I say swifts. Pinks will work too just depends on what rate you want and also how much lowering you want. Tokiko Dspecs aren't bad either.

+1 for swifts! i have them on my BC's. obviously a different spring type (OEM progressive vs. coilover) still the quality over OEM is there
if you want pavement pounding then go with a set of koni inserts with a set of ground control sleeve's.
if you go offroading then the tokico's D'spec will be better fit.
koni inserts are the way to go imo.
best bang for your buck.
you get damping adjustment and with the ground control sleeve's you'll have ride height also.
