hey guys was just wondering if anyone know what the stock ride height for a 2010 wrx or sti hatch , because id love to lower my car but i dont want to viod warranty and the salesman i use at subaru wangara said that id have to get a subaru factory spring.

so if anyone knows about the difference in ride heights, id like to know if its different to the stock rs models.

and if it is different if anyone knows any body willing to part with them

As far as I know, there is no upgrade suspension, eg, springs or struts available for the G3 WRX yet.
In the past, you could buy upgrade kits, genuine STI, they only lower the car around 15mm.
You can use after market lowered springs or struts.
It will affect warranty claims related to suspension though, e.g. leaking struts.

Edit: I will check at work tmoz re, ride height's

Lowering it will only void the warranty on whatever the lowering changes (i.e. struts as mentioned).

It won't void your warranty on say the engine.

oh ok well awesome, but how often would struts need to be changed or so?

How long's a piece of string?

Basically it could go for 70 or 80,000 km without a problem or it may only do 10,000...there are many variables...eg how low you go, brand of spring you use, heaviness of spring, how the car is driven, where it's driven.....etc...
I suggest you talk to John at Wheels World and get some advice on options.

Thanks alot guys for the help i think im gunna get a set of tein or eibach, what you guys think?

Go for coilovers.

+ 1 coilies, I've got Teins Super Streets with EDFC in my rex, their not too stiff for daily, but stiff enough to keep her nice and flat.
I don't have stiffer roll bars, but the general opinion is they are also worth the spend.
