So I've just started looking into some lowered springs for my car. It has the same suspension as a GT (bilsteins) and i got a quote for $650 for pedders sports Ryder's.
What are the other options? (Around similar price range or less: King, white line, sti pinks, tein?)
Do I need to match spring rates to factory?
How do I find spring rates?
Are sedan and wagon the same? (I have a sedan)
Places to source from? (The usual places: G88, japanparts, any others?)
Do Gen 4 springs fit a Gen V?

I've seen some good deals on full sets of king springs for MY10 onwards on ebay, something like 260 for a complete set.

Haha! Sure thing man.
Full set for 2.5-
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SUBARU-LIBER ... 020&_uhb=1Full set for 3.6L and GT-
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SUBARU-LIBER ... d56&_uhb=1I'm not sure what the major difference is between these two sets? My bet is that either of these springs would be fine, seeing as we have the Bilstein suspension from the GT anyway.

I contacted the guys selling those king springs on Ebay and they also said they can get your hub to guard measurements sent to king springs to make a custom set.
I think this might be the way I go.
