im having my prodrive springs installed on wrx wagon today, and i wanted to know if im gonna have a problem with the rear sitting lower???

 

Supposedly Prodrives are made to work with the OE struts on both Sedans and wagons http://www.kastleskorner.com/store/p...roducts_id=446

 

Yes, I have eibach springs on my 03 WRX and the rear does sit low, so the only way to correct it is to put some new koni yellow shocks on there. . . .

The way to correct it is to make sure you have the highest quality springs. Some springs set or sag over time. Installing high quality dampers simply masks this.

 

Yes your butt will sag. It has nothing to do with the quality of the springs. It has to do with the fact thatthe rear of the wagon is heavier than the sedan in the rear and the settle point for the spring needs to account for this. You need to get wagon specific springs. Why not just get the SPT STi pinks? AllSubaru.com has them for $240. Get some new Group N top hats while you're at it too.

Your only other option is to go with a full coilover setup and yuo can adjust the height then.

 

You can also adjust the ride height (and quality) with a nice spring / strut package. Such as Eibachs on Koni yellow struts. You can adjust 1-8 I believe, so just set the rear at 1 and the fronts at something like 4-5. Cheers

Are you sure you can adjust ride height with yellows? I am getting ready to order a set in the next few days and I was under the impression that only dampening was adjustable.

 

I was also under the impression that the amount of dampening you put on (levels 1-8) directly affects the ride height, so if you have the setup that I said above, the sagging butt syndrome will be omitted. . . . Correct me if I am wrong. . . . I am not a suspension guy

I was also under the impression that the Yellows give you the ability to adjust dampening by turning the **** as little as a mm and they didn’t have multiple settings (1-whatever) like the AGX’s.

Like you I am no suspension expert so hopefully someone like Ban will chime in . If not I should have mine within the next few weeks and when I get them in I’ll report back.

Thanks
