I am in the research stage of putting a new suspension in my car. I won't have the money till I start my new job (in October), so I feel this gives me a good time to research. Also I am debating doing this right now for two reasons: 1) winter is comming up and 2) I might wanna start auto-xing (Hyperfest got me hooked) and I want to run stock to make the competition easier.
I been reading a lot, but half the stuff I hear different answers for. So here goes:
I wanna change out the spring/shock/top hat. I heard I must do the top hat cause the shocks (plannin on AGX's) wont fit, and its generally a good idea to upgrade the hats anyways. Which top hats can I get? I know to get group N ones but I see some specifically for 02-03 WRX, some for GC, some for STI. Which ones can I use?
Two: When I change everything over, what are all the little things I need that I do not currently have? (such as the spring seats, rings, whatever it is)
Three: Because I have an audio system in the car presently, and ION performance (Thinking of getting their sport spec springs) says I will get more sag in the rear cause the perches in the GC are different, is there something I can do to offset the extra sag?
Thanks
(Wow I am long winded sometimes)
