Because typically if you lower a car more than ~1/2"-1", the factory designed suspension geometry will be pretty well screwed up. |
Anywhere between 1/2" and 1-1/4" seems to work well. I have what many consider the best matched strut/spring combo ever for the Impreza, the Prodrive World Rally Sport. Why they didn't bother with developing a version for the new chassis, I dunno. But the next best thing is a set of STi v7 or v8 takeoffs. Low and stiff enough to tremendously improve handling feel, tall enough and soft enough to be practical in the real world. You can get a complete set with strut tops for $600-800 depending on where you find them. Try the classifieds on i-club and nasioc.
