Did it stiffen the car up? or lower it. My friend is has a 06 wrx and I just new spring on my 06 STI so he was think of putting my stock springs on his car for a ;little bit more agressive ride. does it help?

sti springs on a wrx do slightly lower it (noticeable in rear, not so much in front) as for the ride, it doesnt make it a whole lot stiffer but you can feel less body roll.

i'm that one guy...

I'm that one guy who wants them on the 06 wrx. A local shop told me that they wouldn't fit correctly because of the struts. Does anyone know if this is true or not?

Did you do it yourself or have a shop do it for you? I'm just wondering because the shop I'd go too says its not recommended to do so. Do you have any pictures of what the back looks like vs. the front. I rather have the front dropped a tiny bit more than the back. Someone also mentioned it not being too different of a ride but better body roll results... do you agree with this? I don't mind the feel of the car except for the body roll. It's hard enough keeping up with moreda5 but when my car has so much body roll I feel weaker.. hope that makes sense. Thanks guys.
