In mine I had 18x8.5 +44 wheels with the bilsteins and pink springs - and I did find that when I fully loaded the boot (wagon) I would get rubbing in the rears
Height with pink springs
I now run same wheels but with BC gold adjustable suspension

SUSPENSION:
Want a slightly lower/ stiffer ride, but wish to keep the Bilstein shocks. What springs would be recommended. Is there an STI variant that's available? what would the price range/s be?
sway bars/ strut bars: Anyone selling some?
BRAKES:
Really just need to know what people are running pad wise. The brakes are nice on the car (as well as everything else) but bear in mind i'm used to cars with MASSIVE brakes. might upgrade the brakes altogether in the distant future but for now I'd just like to try upgrading the pads. What's everyone running and bang for buk, what is recommended?
So much for keeping this car stock.... LOL
I thought the same about mine when I got my car, I told myself I'll keep it stock haha so much for that!
In mine I've got front and rear cusco sway bars and front and rear underbody braces, front and rear strut braces
Brakes I've got brembo brakes front and rear - running bendix ultimate pads (I like them, other than how dusty they are)
