Project: 2002 WRX Wagon -- The Gravel Express

[ScottyB]

for suspension, might i suggest stock STi take-off springs (225F 217R or something close) combined with Tokico D-spec struts. combine with group-n tophats in the rear and either camber plates or whiteline com-c tophats in front.

the STi springs are a nice bump in stiffness but retain stock ride height which your geometry and oil pan will appreciate. additionally, they're real cheap. the D-specs are rebound adjustable and handle consistent, large bumps more reliably than Koni yellows (which are not bolt-in) which would work nicely with your rally-x goals. They're also cheaper than yellows.

lastly, your wagon RSB is 17mm i believe? pick up a used early WRX sedan RSB for cheap, and gain 3mm thickness.

edit: when you get your alignment, max out your stock camber as much as possible. there ain't much to be had to take advantage of, and the car responds well to it. i found 0 toe all around to track just fine and keep the tires wearing nicely at my camber setting (almost -1 degree)
