Sadly the standard STi suspension is not a hard act to follow.

Which Tein? I find the flex in softest mode better than the standard for comfort (except for the speed bumps) but standard driving. I also have the EDFC (eletronic damping force controller ..... phew) also fitted. Change to any level of damping in under 3 seconds really and from inside the car Got from eBay all in for c£550 lol a few thousand miles on them and they were fitted by TSL and geometry set they also lower the car even more than the prodrive springs had already lowered the car. Understeer? What understeer? I laugh when i go round corners and roundabouts!!

I think with 355bhp, AP brakes, Tein coilovers, on 18" wheels that this car makes for the perfect daily driver/fast road/track car combo!

Had Eibach pro street coilovers on my old MY04 WRX and they really was one of the best mods I put on the car, 2nd to the AP 6-pot brakes!!!!!

Paid £199(bargain) second hand from the Revloution red blobeye WRX showcar!!!! The handling on the WRX standard was awful but once the coilovers and geometry was set-up the cars handling was transformed!!!!


Still miss my old scoob!!!!!!!
