simbey1982 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Hello all, I have a question about springs....i am building up a Production GT impreza L for rally X and eventually club rally. I purchased KYB AGX's for the struts for the adjustable dampening. Now i need springs.. Here is my question...what springs should i get...i have thought of aftermarket, but they are so darn stiff, and on gravel and mud, stiff springs arent always that great. Also my current springs are saggy and tired. So my idea is to purchase some RS springs with low miles on them to keep it a bit softer....what do you think??

RallyKeith Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I think Forester springs are a good upgrade as well. I seem to think Randy Zimmer was running Forester suspension on his rally car for a while. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cory Eibach, whiteline and others have springs that may not be too much stiffer than stock. You probably don't want much lowering either or you may be operating the new shocks outside of their designed 'sweetspot'. It doesn't show the lowering (which you might be able to fix anyway with some type of shim?) amount but this site; http://www.ravensblade-impreza.com/techdocs/spring/spring.html shows the stiffness.

simbey1982 Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 forester suspension creates a lift....and right the KYB's dont like too much drop...more than an inch.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroadsubaruguy Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 i would say either some rs springs, or maybe some wrx springs..... you might also want to look into some legacy gt springs??? a bigger vehicle, more weight, stiffer spring, but wont lift like a forester spring would..... just a possibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simbey1982 Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 the problem with springs from other vehicles is they dont match the struts...so my only options are rs springs or something aftermarket...the problem is almost everything after market has a much stiffer spring weight....and for driving around in mud and gravel im not sure i want a stiffer suspension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I THINK Whiteline has some springs like this, likely others do too. I dunno. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
