DelawareBlueHen724 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 What are the best springs you guys suggest? I Have an 08 2.5i. A guy told me to put STI springs on it, and it would have the perfect look, not to low. I had Tein lowering springs on my previous 98 Legacy, which rode nice, other than when you hit a pothole or speedbump, which sounded like the car was going to break in half.... Let me know guys! I'm also at a crossroads of putting BBS or CCW rims on her after the drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWSPECB Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 How low do you want to go? Looking for better handling or looks? Need more details of what you are searching for out of a set of springs to give you a better direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelawareBlueHen724 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Well its for looks, but not to low. I was looking around at STI springs to buy, people been telling me that's the best option. I'm not looking to spend a shit ton of money on coil overs and stuff either.

NWSPECB Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 As you shouldn't. The only reason I am on coil's is because when I got them I was planning on doing a few track event's here and there. Then plan's changed about a month later. Anywho if you are just looking for a bit lower I would look at H-techs. The one's I used to have were awesome. You could also look for a set of Epic's but they are not going to be easy to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelawareBlueHen724 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Alright good deal, they make springs specifically for 2.5i or will I be searching under 08 GT? I know the Tein springs I had on my 98 lowered it 1.5 or 1.75 inches, and it was just a tad to low, still looked pretty good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelawareBlueHen724 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Thanks for the input. One last thing, CCW rims or BBS? Either way is costly as shit I know, but i'm getting a new job coming up, and i'd like to spend some on my ol girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWSPECB Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Depends on which wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWSPECB Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I like the CH's. I had a set of the STI BBS and loved those as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelawareBlueHen724 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Cool, figure I can save a little bit (not much) from the $700 a rim for CCW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWSPECB Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Yeah, that price is not worth it for a 2.5i IMO. In fact I would even consider going with BBS LM reps for cheaper if you're into that look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fritzfab Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 When i bought new Struts (Koni Yellows) i figured i would lower the car as well. I went with H&R Springs, they dropped the car about 2 Inches all around. I still have about a 2 finger gap between my wheel and fender. Overall its a great setup, i dont bounce around or bottom out on anything. This coming from someone living in NJ where the roads are probably the worst in the country lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
