Tein S-Tech Springs
nosnam, where do you live? I am going with the h-techs. i like the drop on the s-tech but i gat quite a bit of snow. I think it will be too low. i'd like to get coilovers but don't have the cash right now. i just want some of my wheel gap gone. i have aftermarket rims and tires and it exagerates the front gap a lot. I was gonna go with Perrins but the 04' springs are not out yet and there is no time frame from Perrin.

S-techs
They ride like hell and you will scrape on curbs, speed bumps, etc.
I hated my s-techs and went back to stock after a week.

i have H-tech's on my '04 wagon and i love them. didn't want to go with the s-tech's because of winter driving, plus i use the WRX for work which means driving onto construction sites.

I used to have a s-10 that was lowered 6 inches so the frame sat about 1.5 from the ground. So needless to say I know where all the speedbumps are. LOL The first time I drove my truck after I lowered it I drove over a speedbump in a local parking lot and got stuck on it, lucky it was late at night and noone saw me, atleast that I know of. I LIve in PA but I have a durango I use for the kids and wife so I dont have to use in the snow and it is garage kept. I am used to a bumpy ride also, with my truck lowered that much, but it the ride aint stiff then you will bottom out all the time.
Yeah i just bought my wrx, upgrade from lowerd fullsize chevy pickup that was lowerd 6 in the front and 8 in the rear. I was looking at getting some s-techs or perrins but don't really want to go back to watching out for all the bumps, the wrx is suposed to be performance. Are these going to be too low for me?

My question is do I need anything else to mount the springs on my stock struts or just replace the stock struts with these struts? and use the stock top hat and top mount. Thanks And since I am only dropping it 2 = front and .07 = rear I do not need camber bolts, right? Thanks
