Default STI hard ride

Does anyone know the best suspension set up to give a bit more comfort to my V3 STI, it has 17" OZ racing alloys, i know the ride is ment to be firm but mine seems rock hard and becomes annoying after a while, back roads will have your fillings out.

When I bought my stock Sti v3 the ride was great for a sporting saloon, and it is now a lot stiffer.

Are you sure your car is stock?

These cars have been around a long time now and get modified (don't i know it!) so you might have some hard aftermarket units on the car that you are not aware of?

If in doubt, find a good independant specialist to advise you; he will spot non stock parts a mile away.

I can say that my 21K mile Sti v3 with stock suspension rode really well on all UK roads.

Hope this helps you.

The springs are pink so i think they are standard also my mates WRX has after market springs and sits lower than mine, i was thinking of fitting eibach springs as they seem to have a good name, thank you for your answer it was very much appreciated.

Where are you based?
Someone maybe able to recommend a garage locally to you to give advice.
