Jake

Unless I'm mistaken, you can use any GC impreza coilovers without issue. There's also a good sticky in the suspension section that discusses fitment.

Raceland Ultimos or just regular Raceland will fit, get GC 93-01 Impreza and they will bolt right in. GD 02-07 WRX will fit as well but you will need to drill a new hole in the back. So just get the GC ones.

Alright, but any thats aren't so expensive? Or should i just go with lowering springs?

Raceland is the cheapest coilover for our cars, other than Emusa (eBay) brand. Lowering springs are okay but i've never been that happy with them. They lower the rear more than the front and they aren't as stiff as I want. I like coilovers because I have full adjustment of ride height that handles good. $450 for a set of Raceland is not bad, considering anything else is $800+

So you know, they are very low quality parts. The ride won't be good, they will clunk and make funny noises, and won't last very long.

Not true. I have owned both styles. Ultimos have upgraded spring rates over the standard ones, and they actually ride great. They have a 2 year warranty, so if you happen to hear any clunking, they'll send you a new set and you just send yours back. They are on the cheaper side, but they have great customer service and for an adjustable coilover they are affordable for the quality. They have come a long way in my opinion. Obviously if you are AutoXing your car you might want to look elsewhere for quality. But these do just fine if you just need something adjustable with pretty good ride quality.
