Default Pics of lowered classics please!!!

Here's is my car, from this photo the ride height does not seem too bad however i would like it to sit prob another 25-30 lower just to improve the stance and obviousley the handling. I am torn between eibachs or h&r so any photos with these fitted would be greatly appreciated....

Lowered on H&R's. Eibach's i've seen don't lower the car enough....only 15-20mm IIRC and have recently seen them sag a lot on the rears of a Prodrive classic.

I agree with drb5 re the eibach's especially on an sti which has shorter springs than a UK, hence why I went with H&R springs aswell.

cheers for the pics and advise guys, looks like i will be ordering the h&r's in the morning!!! just wondered though, how does the car drive with them on, is there a great loss of ride quality etc? is my front splitter now going to be a target for speed bumps and kerbs? i really want to lower thecar but just dont want the ride to suffer! what are yours like????

Yep, thats right.. yours is the pre-facelift rear bumper and I'd defo recommend changing it if you've facelifted the front already, it'll balance it up nicely.


Cheers,
Grant
