Best lowering springs with stock struts?
Hey guys,

I'm tired of the stock looking height of my car. I was wondering what would be the best springs to buy with my stock struts. I'm really looking for ride quality than performance. I know that its hard to find stock ride with after market springs. I have a 2007 wrx with 63k miles. Thanks guys!

I am on COBB's as well and absolutely love the ride. They are a little soft so when teamed up with my now worn struts, and the cosworth cams my car rocks rythmically back and fourth at idle. LOL

Seriously though COBB is awesome but I dont think they make them anymore.

I've been on Tein S-techs for about 3 years now and I love the ride. They lower your car a good amount yet they still ride pretty stiff. Not too stiff and definitely not bouncy. And they're a reasonable price. Might even wanna look into H-techs

I had tein s techs I did not like the ride on stock struts... but the drop was nice. there's a thread on why not to rock stechs on nasioc. U should check there for spring info and consider upgrading ur struts.

I've been on prodrive blue springs and have since upgraded struts to kyb agxs. my car is very comfortable, streetable, and very functional. When I had 18x9 +35, 17x9's in +35 and +42 I was able to stiffen up the dampening to help with rubbing issues along with rolling my rear fenders.

I daily drive my wagon in SF and take it up and down to tahoe just to give u an idea of how much time I'm in the car...

Hope this helps.

I'm on Swifts and I think they're doing pretty good with stock struts but considering my car is 120k+ new struts going in pretty soon

Swift springs work well with stock struts. Comfortable ride with a decent height drop. I did a few track days with swift springs/stock struts and they were satisfactory for my abilities.

One might even say they're more comfortable than OEM springs.
