Hello all. I know this question gets asked over and over again but I have no clue what to get. I have a 2007 wrx wagon and am finally taking the first step to modifying my car! I'm debating between the H&R coilovers or tein basic or flex... but am open to any suggestions. I am just lowering my car for looks and do not race at all but I do not want a bumpy ride. I would like a harder springs but don't know how to tell whether it will be hard or soft.

I'm on stock rims but will eventually get some different rims...

Thanks for any help!

 

if its for looks: ISC, megan, stance, BC racing, fortune auto. all the cheap ones

the cheapest coilovers i would get are the suspensiontechniques/KW v1s: ST Coilovers (Also DMS Camber Plates) - An ongoing review. - NASIOC

 

Great review thanks!

 

unless you need to run crazy camber or wanna be really low maybe look into a spring strut setup. RCE yellows or swift springs with some konis or tokico dspecs. you will get the looks you want and can have a better setup than those cheap coils.

and dont get tein

 

ok i wont thanks

 

Ok i have decided to go with GC with koni yellows.... Thanks for your help flat489

 

Then coilovers are not for you. Unless you race on a competitive basis, then coilovers not a good choice. They are less reliable, a whole lot more of a hassle, and require periodic downtime compared to springs and struts. I suggest skipping coilovers on a DD and highly finding nice springs (and struts if needed).

All of the above are garbage. Especially if ride is a concern to him.

Good deal. Have you decided what rates you're going with?

 

Nope not yet...

 

good choice. i know that if you call up the ground control guys they can help pick out what to run and what will be the best for you

 

k any recommendations on spring rates? I don't want the ride to be too bumpy but nothing too hard... just something comfortable... lol

umm... btw I'm a female... thats y I need help... hahaha i suppose...

 

Give Ground Control a call. They are your best bet on getting help for spring rates for the ride you are looking for if you are going with a GC set up. Be very honest with them on what you are looking for. All to often people overestimate with a track type set up when they really won't be happy with it.
Call GC, they will help.
Good luck

Edit: let us know what they recommended for your set up and driving habits.

 

I have set of GC/ Koni yellows on my 05 wrx wagon...they are pretty decent. not too rough, not to soft... Im looking to get rid of them soon tho.. im more interested in a full coilover step
