i'm also running Whiteline Flatout's and pretty impressed with them. would do it again in a heartbeat.
especially compared to cars equipped with Kings that i've ridden in.

Won't you want to change ur shocks as well (while changing the springs) a 6year old car which im assuming will have around 100k on the clock would have its shocks worn out by now. Changing just the springs will wear out the old shocks even quicker...correct me if im wrong??

Where's you could get something a little more matched and engineered for performance and designed to fit!

I'm a big advocate for parts that just fit or are of group n specification from STI.
Pete, I don't think the Whiteline flatouts alter the roll centre enough (ie below the road) so you dont need the roll centre kit. Thats what John as Wheels World said anyhow...I think it's a major prob for cars that are "fully dumped" (or fooly sik, whatever it may be)...

just my 2c...

Yeah I have been thinking about this. However, i believe that my struts to be in good condition, and are not ready to be replaced yet.

If i put the springs in and they die 3 months down the track, then so be it, I'll just replace them when they die.

Why not get a set of coilovers from ballistic? Sure costs a bit more now, BUT it will give you the ability to fine tune to suit your driving style, give you an advantage on a track, let you set the car to whatever ride height you want at the turn of 4 nuts. Car goes up, car goes down, car goes up, car goes down. hehe. Seems like an awesome price for brand new coilovers but hey I'm not trying to sell his gear for him, just tryin to say do it once do it properly. If your not concerned about paying for something else in 3 months IMO you should just do it all now. Besides tax cheque comes soon too
