Lowering Car

[ScottyB]

something to consider - on the impreza chassis, which uses struts, the camber curve goes to shit if you slam the car. in other words, you start gaining positive camber as you compress the suspension more and more past a certain point, unlike on unequal control arm cars. your car may not suffer the same, however i thought i'd bring it up since you have a similar suspension. maybe see if some respected places like Robispec or RRE have said anything about it.

also, your .81g grip will go way up with just some sticky summer tires. lowering won't have as great an initial effect aside from looking pimp as hell IMO. a good alignment will pay dividends too - zero out your toe and grab as much camber as possible from the stock suspension.

lastly - being a least vehicle, stick to cheap/easy to remove stuff. maybe forgo the springs and just do some hefty swaybars. they're alot easier to remove.
