Straight swap springs to lower our car?

[clintondane]

Hey all, wondering if there\'s a set of Subaru springs that\'d lower our \'01 Blitzern a little. Not looking to slam it but a little lower would be nice, maybe 20/30mm or so?

Thanks for the link mate, would these do the trick?

I would say perfect

Being STi springs they\'re still "factory" springs too really, and wouldn\'t be a massive drop or too stiff / soggy like some can be

Strongs are brilliant, I spend too much there

Next question, would I have to get them certed? Also, how difficult to change the existing ones out and install new ones? Mechanic job or something at home? I\'m mechanically retarded so would need help, lots of help! Lol.

No cert required

It\'s not a complicated job - it takes a bit of time but there\'s nothing you can break or do wrong as such

I think I\'ve put up a sort of how-to somewhere on here - it is much easier with two people but I can swap the struts in and out in maybe an hour or so (?) on my own.

An hour, impressive!

just realised the other day when cleaning my rears got pinks. they sit at quite possibly the best height for looks and practicality, can still chock the thing up with three in the back and a full boot and have no problems
