GC8 STI Suspension


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

I am looking into getting new struts for my RA. Wanting to replace existing ones with OEM replacements to complete my restoration. 

 

I have been pretty close to pulling the trigger on some new genuine STI Struts but they are expensive by the time they come from Japan. 

 

I am pretty sure the factory ones are KYB. Is there an off the shelf KYB strut that is the same? Or Bilstein equivalent?

 

Also the car currently has Tein lowering springs in it. I have been looking into getting some genuine STI pink springs, however the front ones are no longer available brand new. What would be a good replacement spring? Or can you still get the OEM springs for these cars. Low is good but originality/ OEM spec is more important to me.

 

Be glad of any ones experience doing something like this.

The factory STI reds are of a higher spec than KYB. Give Chris from suspension tech a call. Best option for performance / handling would be to get them rebuilt. Its about $350 a shock I think. Order some King springs through @PBMS pretty good pricing. https://kingsprings.com.au/catalogue/vehicle/1068/subaru-impreza-wrx-gc-sedan-1993-9-2000

 

You can get lows, which are 30mm drop. Factory height is no longer made.

 

I might be getting mine done soon as well so let me know if you're keen, I can try ask him he'll do us a deal :D

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
