So much info on 3.0 and GT's, but what about the 2.5i?

Postby jax0n » Sun Mar 16, 2014 9:18 pm

So I got some sedan billies with 0 k's on them from eBay and brought what thought were wagon Springs from these forums.
Turns out they were exactly the same as my sedan ones from eBay.

Now my wagon sits embarrassingly high at the front and low at the back and looks pretty much ridiculous all round :(

My problem:
Everyone seems to talk about and recommend tein / sti's / eibach / rs-r / H&R for 3.0 and GT's.

I have a gen4 2.5i 5MT wagon and want some Sti spring ride quality. Will these springs work on my car or should I go eibachs?

Also any idea where I can get them?

All Gen4's share exactly the same suspension platform

Only differences you'll find is Sedan specific springs fitted to a wagon will cause the 'saggy bum' effect that you've described

Thanks ZCH91, but it seems some engines are heavier than the other because my front is sitting very high.

Edit:
Just found this which would've helped me a few weeks ago lol

OOOR , could I just get some tein springs for the front so it lowers it down a bit?
Would that kill the handling?
