dj tanner · 11-30-2012, 04:20 PM

Ive been thinking lately that I want to lower my car. Im getting kind of bored with how it looks now. Id obviously get new wheels and whatnot too. Please everyone share your thoughts id love to hear them.

And yet it would also look great lowered on WRX suspension

Haha you guys just made it even more difficult for me! I was initially thinking of lifting it but I dont know im started to like the look of it low to the ground

Would it make more sense to get coilovers or a wrx suspension? Cause I was thinking if I got coilovers I could lower it with nice wheels for the spring and summer and then raise it up again with my current wheels for the fall and winter

If you're willing to spend the money to get nice coilovers... Almost all budget coilovers are crap.

What are some good coilovers that you would recommend?

Some of the best "budget" coilovers are made by DGR and Fortune Auto.
They're the only brands on the market that disclose which fork oil they're using, which can make or break a damper.

If I was going to get coilovers, I'd follow what Duder said, or get the Mann Engineering coilovers.

+1 for slammed... I love mine lowered, saving up for some coil overs myself (cause I wanna be about 1" lower than I am right now.. currently I'm riding on WRX sedan struts and WRX Tien (wagon specific) springs..
