Recommend me some lowering springs please

[WantbOOOOst]

Hey all

Just today i got myself a deal on a v5 sti type r. pretty good buy imo.

Its on stock shocks and springs atm and am not liking the look of the wide gap between the wheels and the guards so wanting to lower it a bit.

Ive had a search on google and on the forum but still cant decide on a set of springs so am asking for some more opionons from you guys.

I have considered coilovers, but the cost is a bit past my budget with having to cert etc so im just going to stick with springs.

I have noticed that alot of people are using tein h-tech and s-tech springs, i like the drop from the s-tech but apparently their not to good for stock shocks. I have been reading up on H&R race aswel and they seem to be good.

Im just after some opionons and feed back from you guys on springs that you have or had. I really do want the best of both worlds, good drop in height while keeping good handling, but i see thats not really going to happen unles i go with coilovers.

If anyone can help me out here it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance guys!

I have Tein springs with STI shocks and that gives mine a nice ride

Any known brand should be fine, Just ensure you get the right ones to fit the car, as some do differ

If you want a cheaper set then check out Trade Me, there is always set on there going well under retail

I run HKS springs in my Legacy and have fitted a set to a BH Legacy also, can honestly say both mine and the BH are the best handling Legacy's I've been in, rather firm though. Might be worth a look

thanks for the options guys, will have a look into to them and compare prices, drops and reviews. cheers

I have a set of 1 month old Tein springs if anyone is keen? Just took them out of my B4 when I traded it in for the GT-B as the GT-B has adjustables, which leads to my next question.

How are adjustables adjustable in the rear? Who can do the adjusting, ie is it easy for some random like I to do or should my local mech handle it?
