Any of you guys know if the JDM B4 Bilstien suspension gives a drop over stock and by how much if so? I've found a couple sets that I am interested in. I want a small drop to reduce the wheel well gap, but still need clearance for winter driving.

Thanks,

i would say no, you'd still need to get an aftermarket lowering spring. maybe the stock spring on the b4's lowers it a smidge, but not enough to justify them over what you have now.

I guess I should have been more specific, this is actually what I was looking at...

They are Bilstein struts with pinks! :wink:

EDIT: Anyone know by looking at that set if it might be bolt on? I'm not sure about the hats, etc.

mcarp22 on Nasioc has some.

Ummmm, in his thread about JDM stuff, Radeon posts some pics of his Bilsteins as well.

typical sti drop is about an inch in the front, .5" in the rear. That's what I remember reading for these springs.
