Talking The Low Down on the 06 STi

I got the Zorst and a couple of other goodies installed at Maximum's.

Went to WA Suspensions yesterday to get four lovell low springs and the bonnet protector is now collecting dust in the spare room. I highly recommend WA Suspensions, they are great blokes!

Heading down to Yallingup today, so it will be a nice drive...

try taking a photo from the same height & angle as the first one so we can get a proper comparison, but the ride height looks good !

How muchy to get lowered?
Is the ride much firmer?
Whats the verdict on Lovel springs compared to Whitelines?
Check out the front underbody spoiler available now as well $750 from suby...

i wouldn't mess with STi Suspension unless it was going to high quality coilovers
like group 4's or cusco zero2, cheap lowering springs will just stuff the stock shocks and make the awesome handling of the STi worse.

but thats just my personal opinion
