Default RCE Bilstein Yellows + Springs

MY08 - MY11 WRX owners this is for you!

Looking for a suspension setup for your boat ?

Troy from PSR has offered us a minimum 5 buy of these Racecomp Engineering Bilstein Yellows + a set of Springs for a price of $1690 inc to one location here in WA.

Racecomp Engineering Bilstein Yellows suit MY08-MY11 WRX - Pro Speed Racing

These have a RRP of $2490 and he normally sells them for $1890 + postage, but in a minimum 5 buy we can get them here to WA for $1690 all posted.

For those who don't want coilovers for their car, these an awesome piece of gear. If you want to google them or find reviews, there are heaps out there on the internet.

Anyway, I just wanted to see if we can gather enough numbers to get this through. Let me know if your interested.

We've reached our target! Any more is just extra!

So far we have:

1. Jon (MY11 WRX HATCH) - Bilstein + Yellow Spring Option - DEPOSIT PAID.
2. Tony (MY11 WRX SEDAN) - Bilstein + Yellow Spring Option - DEPOSIT PAID.
3. Deviouskim (MY09 WRX HATCH) - Bilstein + Yellow Spring Option - DEPOSIT PAID.
4. Clem (MY10 WRX HATCH) - Bilstein + Yellow Spring Option - DEPOSIT PAID.
5. b32 (MY12 WRX HATCH) -Bilstein + Yellow Spring Option - DEPOSIT PAID.

Sorry not to bag out PSR they're great
but for that price only for shocks/springs would be better for coilover?

cant get the HSD/tein/ebay spec in the new aged impreza?

The way I see it, the main advantage of having a coilover is for the adjustability.

I really only Daily Drive my car so I want performance without having it too harsh, with a track day if I ever have the time to do so. I think the bilsteins will survive a track day or so without an issue. I can buy a cheap coilover and turn it to soft for DD, but what's the point?

I don't need the drop of a coilover and the last thing I want to do later on is have to worry about rebuilding if something occurs.

That's just the way I see it though.

I know HSD make a kit for the MY11, I had a set in the car for 18000km

I'm with Jon though, my car isn't a dedicated track car (doubt it will ever be) and thus the requirement for a set of coilovers isn't there.
However the stock suspension needs replacing to make it handle that bit better and from the people I have spoken to who have these installed in their cars, it lies in between stock and coilovers and does a bloody good job.

They also have proven themselves to be a good enough package for the odd skid pan and track days.

Rexxar,

Yes you are probably right, but these are really the step in between a coilovers and a normal Shock/Spring upgrade.
The handling on these is very very impressive but dont have the need to go out and track it. 90% of people who get coilovers useally get the settings they like and then leave them. Never to adjust again. These are prob the best shock/spring combo on the market hands down.

But if people do want Coilovers we do have the ZS coilovers that are very well priced and also getting great results

The rears have a height adjustment on them, fronts aren't adjustable from what I've read.

The rear shocks feature an adjustable SIR CLIP for + 5 mm, +10 mm or -5 mm, -10 mm rear ride height.

I'll ask Jon to insert a table of interested parties in the OP.

Have 2 for the GB so far, looking for another 3.
