Lowering springs = buttsag much?

[2.5GT]

Let's beat this topic to death..shall we? :lol:
Yes, I've searched..and no I didn't find what i was looking for.

But those of you with lowering springs, preferably BD owners. How noticeable is the buttsag? I know our car's body line is design to be lowered in the rear. So should I get spacers in the rear or not?

If you get springs that do not lower aggressively (ie. NOT H&R or RS*R) then you will not get butt sag unless you are using springs not designed for the BD (like Tein S-Techs for a WRX).

Or, you could go the Okin DaVanah (sp?) route and just lower the front.

I think I'll be going with H&R springs. By all the pics I've seen (some are really hard to tell because of the angle) they don't sag that much with the H&Rs or Eibachs. I guess that would be the angles of the pics, but how do they hold up over time? I need to get off these coilovers :lol:

My Whiteline control springs dont sag in the rear. Dont believe their Flatout springs do either and they offer a substantial drop.

1 and 1/2" in the front only.

You could just get wagon springs for your sedan, and that should offset your difference.
