Im planning to get Cobb Tuning Lowering Springs and just wanted to know if i could ride with the stock shocks. Also if anybody that owns a set of cobb tuning springs, I would like to know hows the ride and was it worth it...let me know...thanks

 

i just picked mine up this weekend. im planning to start working on it in just a couple hours. gst said they work fine on the stock shocks...i'll try to get back to you and let you know how the ride is. =]

 

thanks dude...

 

As with Prodrive springs, they claim they are made for the factory dampers. But with the significantly lowered front and greater spring rates, the ride will be a bit bouncy and the front will tend to crash through on bigger inputs. Koni inserts or the like offer enough damping to eliminate these issues when running stiffer, shorter springs. BTW, Imprezas don't really have shocks they have struts.

 

the right is great. =]
so worth it. the new stance is sooooo much better.
not bouncy at all. of course if i do hit a pot hole or somethin it hurts a lil more than stock. but for the most part the ride feels as smooth as stock and handles really nicely.

 

thats good to hear man....are u riding on stock struts? or aftermarket? im planning to get a set on thurdays so juss wanna get some feedback before then thanks dude

 

yea, its all stock. just the springs.

 

on the cobbtuning website i saw that the springs say that its for 04-06 subaru wrx.....would it fit the 06 wagon? dont want to buy it and wunt be able to put them on....let me kno thanks

 

i would think so, but dont kno for sure. you can ask the guys at gst motorsports. they are really cool over there. and the GM of the place, Derek, he actually has an 06 wagon too, im sure he'll be able to answer anything.

 

thanks dude....for the help and info on the springs

 

im trying to look for gst motorsports but i cant find it.....where are they located at?

 

in hayward and the street is indutrial parkway, i believe. pretty sure thats the street. they have their name in yellow on the front of the building so it doesnt stand out too much believe it not. heh.

did you look on their site for the address?
gstmotorsports.com

 

got my springs in and im loving it..........thanks for everything guys..........=D

 

I'm glad you like them.
Everyone I know that has the Cobb springs loves them!

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but dont Cobb springs drop the front 2". If they do I doubt the oe struts will last long and the front lower control arms will be around level or worse and that isn't good if you plan on tracking the car.
