what springs

Post by The Scooby »

what springs are everyone running that are made for our cars?

i know whiteline makes springs, same with H&R, and Intrax.

whitelines are $259
Intrax are $309
and the H&R's are $349

what else is out there, ive checked swift, sprint, tein, tanabe, espelir, jic, and eibach. i dont want to deal with the hassel of putting impreza stuff in my car that wasn't made for the weight balance of our cars.

they're made in aussie land, if you buy them in the states you still pay to have them shipped from aussie land.

buy direct, save money.

PDM racing in Vancouver, BC carried Whiteline springs but beware backorders with them.

I'll do a plus one for the H&Rs. I've got the sport springs and they're pretty nice.

Someone told me today that H&R will turn springs to your spec for $50 a spring. My only beef with the H&R sports is that they could be a bit lower, since I do track days/lapping. So evidently I can get whatever I want if I do all the measuring and figure out spring rates and such...which I'll need help with but I might try to do...We'll see...

teagues auto also sells whiteline, and they're who I finally got my whitelines from after dealing with like three other people.

The issue is not whiteline. The issue is MRT being a bunch of douchebags.

Contact teagues www.boxer4racing.com and see what they say.

If you're getting the run around, try buying direct from whiteline.

+1 for Dale Teague.

They can order just about anything they don't have listed.

Got a bushing kit on the way from Australia thanks to Dale.

Earlier in the year, Don at PDM suggested I NOT get the Whiteline springs.

Their bars are good.

Had Rocket Rally put on the DMS coil overs 40mm 225 front and 180 back.

What OEM Subaru springs can be swapped into a 91ss that will improve handling? Can I use WRX springs? If so, what years and will it drop the car at all?
