Fitted mine last week and yes, they are very low out of the box. Would advise people raise them 25mm before fitting as i found the back units very stiff to turn when mounted.
Here are some wheel arch height figures for a newage STI to give people a guideline:-




STI -- FR 386mm R 366mm
RB320 -- FR 356mm R 356mm
Tein -- FR 345mm R 340mm
Advice

Measured from the centre of the wheel vertically to the lip of the wheel arch.
I settled around the RB320 figure, i wouldn't go lower than the Tein figure as the bottom arms will be at the wrong angle.

 

Got mine today
Thanks to Bren and all at Apex.
Can't wait for the weekend to have a play

 

Yes, as Wuz says our 3 kits arrived on Saturday but I wasn't in so I collected them from the depo on Monday.

By then we had already fitted a set to Boyakasha's (Marc's) car
Very nice bit of kit and at a very good price.

Just need to get around to fitting my own now

Well done again to Wuz for getting this started and also to Bren for sorting it out

 

Mine are on! I've got -25mm on the rear and -30mm on the front. May have to go up a bit as the mudflaps now scrape on the corners! But I'll let it all settle then sort it out. The garage I used quoted an hour a corner plus alignment time. They were amazed at the fit, had all 4 on in under an hour, dropped it down said s*&t that's low, lifted it adjusted height. All fitted with ride height set in 2 hrs then 1 hr to align!

 

Got mine earlier in the Week, very pleased! Thanks Bren

Newage Piccies please with height set dimensions from those eager beavers who have already fitted them!! Would be very helpful!

Thanks

Looking good mate, what height settings did you settle on?

Keep the piccies coming chaps!!!!

 

No idea - Had them fited because A - I'm lazy and B - I'd probably F*&k it up!

 

Hi to you all at Apex. Both BCs and ARB arrived on Wednesday
Looking very very good all being fitted Saturday
Thank you all for your efforts in this GB well done on delivery as well.
Glad i put me name down for standin well worth it.

 

Got mine on Monday and fitted them today car looks mint! Thanks to Anne Bren and Co!

 

A question for Bren or anyone else who can help

I went for the recommended 6/5 spring ratings on my 05 spec c, but if I click on the BC banner and look up my model in the applications list the suggested rates are 6/4. Can anyone shed some light on this discrepancy?

I only ask as my suspension geek father drove mine over the weekend and said it felt a little over-sprung at the rear and I have to agree. Could it be down to the light-weight rear on the spec c or does anyone else have the same issue?

Think I might be wanting a set of 4kg/mm springs......

 

Is Bren still alive as not seen him post back yet ? lol

Thank you again Bren!

 

Fitted mine the other weekend and am getting the geometry set-up this weekend.
Can anyone tell me a good geometry set-up for fast-road use on a classic please?
Also, what is the recommended ride height for a classic to maintain good handling? (as I know too low and the handling gets worse)

Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Matt

 

Got mine on my classic to. Very impressed so far with the 6/5.

Going to get it setup this weekend too.

Would also like to know settings for track/fast road inc ride height. Seems to be hard information to get a hold of!

 

can anyone help?

 

Fast road:

-35mm
Front camber -ve 2 degrees
Front toe zero
Rear camber -ve 1.75 degrees
Rear toe 1.5mm toe in total

Thought id ad this

 

Bren, would this be a good fast road set up for a 2005 version 9 STi?

Regards

Chris

 

BTT - did you get an answer on this, I have 6/5 for my spec c too.

 

Am I too late to order a set of coil overs for a 03WRX?
