I have a set of Tein S.Tech's I got as a gift and put them on my 2002 wrx.
It's a -2.0/-0.7 inch drop front/rear respectively.

Now I've been reading around that anything lower than a -1.5" drop will defintely hurt my stock struts and shocks...(which i already have 45,000 miles) on. My questions are

1) what are all the problems I am going to encounter besides bottoming out my car

2) what can I do to avoid/prevent these problems besides getting rid of my springs

3)KYB AGX's or I can get Tokico shocks/struts really cheap/free so I may consider that...

TIA for everyone's input.

I’ve heard that lowering a Subaru too much will actually hurt your handling
There is really not that much that you can do……
Your best bet is to buy a set of aftermarket struts (koni & AGX are the two most popular choices)

 

yea since it's lower than the desired amount, and I get a set of struts, it should get rid of any potential handling problems i have right?
