New Perrin Performance Lowering Springs..

We have just gotten a shipment of the newly released Perrin Performance lowering springs.

These springs have been built to custom specifications designed with the stock shocks and bumpstops. The springs are progressive with a 15%-50% stiffer ride depending upon load.

The quality of the ride from these springs is remarkable!

The drop rate is 1.9" front and 1.5" rear giving the car a nice level look front to rear.

These springs will fit all 02/03 Impreza's.

MSRP is $274.99

Our introductory special is $250 shipped.

question for ya...

sounds like a good price and I am interested in the springs but I was wondering if you had to have a caster/camber kit put on your car after you got lowering springs to help the tire wear? At least this was the case on my friends mustang gt.

Besides that I am considering ordering the springs.

any thoughts?

thanks,

zagwrx

ZAGWRX - From testing the rear really should use camber bolts or similar as the camber is around -2 although on the test cars the tire wear did not seem too bad without the camber taken out.

We would be more than happy to throw in a set of Camber bolts with the springs for an additional $30.

Initial Review :
Car is lower and have a much more even stance, ride is not bouncy, almost stock-ish comfort, but more responsive compared to stock. Car felt more stuck to the ground and much more aggresive feel during cornering. Now I just need better tires
Thanks again Dan!!

The car in the pictures above is mine. So far i really like the springs. The springs are on stock struts and my only other suspension mods are a rear sway bar and front and rear strut bars. The ride feels just a little bit stiffer then stock until you get into a turn. Once in a turn the springs really stiffen up and feel great. I haven't been able to really push my car hard in a turn yet due to the fact that i am still on the RE92's and as everyone knows these tires suck. Also the drop is perfect. It gives the car a really aggressive look and gets rid of most of the fender gap.

Ex-ricer - Sure come on by, any friend of Curtis is in need of a hook up

ASpec818 - There would have to be a whole lot of springs sold for us to hit that kind of price so I would doubt that is going to happen.

ReXoRaMa - They have been sent out (albeit late) and I have sent you the tracking number via PM. Sorry I have limited access to email as I am and have been on vacation from last Monday through till Friday of this week.

One of the guys in the shop was tasked to ship it immediatley so I will find out why it did not go upon my return to work on Tuesday.
