What Are My Spring Options?

Post by CAV3MAN227 »

-On My 92 t-leg, my current setup consists of kyb gr2 struts, 2.5 rs springs and top hats on all four corners. The car rides great but I'm looking to go lower. I don't want to go coil-overs cause all the struts are new and I don't want to have to really mod much. More like just a spring replacement. What are my options as far as springs, to get the tires to tuck a little more, give the car a lower center of gravity and ultimately handle a little better? If the recommendations are not from another car, sti, wrx, etc., what car should I get springs for, the legacy or 2.5 rs?
-I searched here and couldn't find much that's relevant to my setup. If anyone could help, gotta link or point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

you can do 02-03 wrx springs but you have to use their top seats also. read up on the suspension sticky. it covers all of that.

King Springs out of Australia makes application correct springs for our cars still, but shipping might be pricy. I plan to do their lowering springs some day.

I got the RS prodrive P1 springs and love them! Dropped the car near an inch. Progressive spring rates too.
