Before pic: 03 wrx: SPT/STi springs and struts.

 

after: 04 pinks, group n top mounts.

 

time for some rims, and did you use the stock dampers?

 

He has SPT struts, per first post.

 

Did you have to use 04 tops for the rear? I'm thinking of doing the same exact setup (have an SPT strut/spring combo now).
I like your drop, looks about an inch lower than the SPT setup. Could you post some feedback on the ride quality and handling? I'm really curious about how those SPT struts are taking the spring rate increase...

 

yes, I used 04 STi top mounts for the rear, and 03's for the front. When I had the SPT kit I had the stock top mounts and the ride was kind of bouncy. Now the car has no bounce and it handles awesome. It's a little stiff but it's well worth it. I can't even imagine how the car will handle with 17's and high performance tires. I can't wait. As far as how the struts will hold up I don't know yet. I've only had this setup for about a week now. However, they should hold up well since the spt struts are fairly strong to begin with. There should not be a problem. I hope this info helped out. I am definitely satisfied with the way my car looks and handles now. :banana:
