Help pick the new suspension set-up on the 93 Winestone

Post by dscoobydoo »

Ok, so the car is on the road, and I need to put new springs/struts on it within the next few years.
Since this car was SUPPOSED to be a budget build ( no comments here Jake), I NEED to keep the costs low.

So what I am looking for is this:

Less than a 1 inch drop.
Stiffer/better than stock
Still a confortable road car ( this is not going to be a rally car or even an autocross car)

Suggestions:

Thanks

I've got an extra set of stock STI springs for sale. I'm also going to be selling my 04 STI suspension off my car if I can find coilovers at a decent price.

I agree with Kimo...go with STi struts(04) and STi Springs

Why only the 04's ?
Will 05's fit as well?

For the struts you have to get any year WRX or just the 04 STi due to the 5x100 bolt pattern. The camber bolt holes are different with the 5x100 and 5x114.3.

I have 05 WRX struts and 05 STi springs for my setup.

Does this make sense?
