Hi guys
I'm thinking of lowering my car as it on staderd springs and I don't like the look of it. I want to lower the car and give it a meaner look. What do you guys recommend.
Thanks

Prodrive springs lower it 25mm front & 15mm rear. Looks good on them.

Talk to Peter at PCA dynamics.
He can supply a Prodrive spring and bumpstop kit with revised geometry settings designed for uk roads.
It will lower the Sti by 35 mm on the front and 15mm on the rear.
There identical to the rb320 in spring rates.
Just make sure when you strip the old dampers down to replace bumpstops you also clean out all the old grease and replace with some high quality stuff.

Why replace bump Stops? Only asking cos I replaced my hawk sti suspension with kit from an RB320 (springs n dampers) love the way it looks & it's solved the "bobble head" problem, but, if I go over a certain imperfection in the road at a certain angle it sounds like my rear tyre is flat as it hits it. It's not a nice sound that's for sure, so just wondering if it might be these bump stops?

If you fitted the full spring and Bilstein damper set from a RB320 it would all ready have the bump stops in them.

The bump stop is actually a spring assister that helps progressive suspension movements.

On the stock STI the car sits on them causing the bobbing sensation.
Fitting lowering springs only crushes the bumpstop causing a harsh ride and slightly reduced bobbing.

By fitting the correct shorter spring assister (bump stop) and lowering springs you can improve ride quality and remove the bobbing completely.

Thanks for that. It was the full set-up (3rd bearing re-work damper as well) that was fitted to the car. I'll have to book it in somewhere & get it checked out.

The PCA dynamics springs are wrx specific - they were £198 + £13.50 delivery - that may be the old stock price?

rb320 springs - apparently intentionally softened for uk roads by prodrive.

These are the PCA ones.
Lower 35 front 15 rear. Same rate as Rb320 and designed for uk roads and were developed to work with the inverted dampers, they also come with the correct bumpstops and revised geometry settings.
