    Re: Need some advice from suspension savvy sl-i members!

    the standard GC kit for the WRX doesn't go any higher because they use really short springs but at no extra cost you can specify your own spring lengths and rates. If you go to a longer spring you can keep stock height and even raise the car a bit without changing the struts.

    keeping the wagon struts is your best option from an alignment and suspension geometry point of view, and you can upgrade them with koni inserts, which happen to be on sale right now. So with konis and ground control sleeves you end up with a high quality height and damping adjustable setup for about a grand. The only good complete coilover system in that price range (ST) does not have adjustable shocks.

    Perfect. I am going to start gathering the parts... Almost pulled the trigger on a set of sti v7/v8 control arms. I was confused though because I thought the JDM v7 sti spec c and the v8 arms add caster... I didn't think that standard v7 and v8 were the same.

    yeah the only jdm arms that add caster are on the spec-c as far as I know. usdm 04-06 is what you should look for.
