Hi Guys, I'm pretty new to the site and need some help or advice. I own a 02 wrx and my suspension is starting to go out. I've read some of the threads about suspension which has helped. But with all the options out there I don't know what to get. What do you guys recommend? I looking for something better than stock. I would like to drop it around an 1" or so. Thanks for the help!
Prodrive springs- about 1 inch drop = usually 270 new. good for daily driving KYB AGX shocks front and rear (4 way adjustable) = sometimes 359 on ebay, usually 400-450 depending on your mileage/condition- new top hats all around = pricing varies, but might want to consider group n top hats.
For a daily driven car I would go with KYB AGX w/Eibach Pro Kit springs. Drops about 1.3" Front, 1.0"Rear(If I remember correctly). Also yea, you get the adjustable struts too so if you want it stiffer just turn the level on the strut up. Eibach Pro kit springs goes for about 179 on ebay. Usually like 220-250+ at the store. My 02 wrx with KYB AGX(w/stock springs) on level 2 stiffness is already bumpy enough for daily driving. I'm planning on Eibach Pro kit soon because Prodrive is too pricey for me(but its worth it though). Bottom line from me, If you dont mind spending a little more $$ then get KYB AGX w/Prodrive springs. Otherwise Eibach Spings.
Mine seem nice enough. And I'm about to install Ground Control coilovers, which use Eibach springs. They come with a lifetime warranty, so the company must be pretty confident of their quality. Stuart.
I've used Eibach springs on my civic and they seemed to work very well for me. My car has around 78k on it now if that matters. I'm planning on getting different front and rear sway bars when I replace my suspension. If you guys have any more setup options with suspension and sway bars, would be great.
I used to have an Accord dropped about 2in on Ground Control coilovers with KYB AGX shocks. The rear shocks went out after 3 years (not surprised), I replaced them with Tokicos, they pooped on me in 3 weeks
Used to got Tokkico HP Blue series on my Del sol and it was good handling along with Neuspeed lowering springs. Handles awesome but too bad I sold the car. besides, what are good SwayBars for 02 Wrx?
I think this may help with my decision. So far people I have asked has said KYBs... but with springs I have heard a lot of different ones. What kind of setup do you guys have on your rides?
