New Subie girl!

Me too. I'm at about 1.75 drop now. Lol. They have definitely settled.
Swift springs are good. They are on my short list.

Keep in mind, over time, springs will almost always settle another -5mm.

Very true. My lift on Roxie of 2.5" dropped almost 1/4" lower, good thing my wheel setup gave me an extra inch of lift.

RCE yellows fo life

Yellows I think are an even spring rate front/rear at around 330lbs. Should be a nice sporty feel with some forgiveness. Drop appears to be around 10mm for the newer cars. Figure about 5mm more after settle.

Swift spec r would be a bit stiffer in the rear with that higher spring rate. This should help a bit with understeer but with a touch less forgiveness. Drop at 25mm with a 30mm after settle.

Both are really good springs and honestly is a tough decision.

I've heard good things from eibach, as well. Drop on them is more in the middle at 20mm with a spring rate ending in the low 400's with slightly more in the rear.

Being progressive rates, they all should yield a decent ride when just cruising.

Yeah I am not 100% yet, I may just save up for some coilovers

 

[Alter3go]

Save up for them in the long run it is a way better investment and versatile use of your money. I have them on my M3 and idk why I didn't go coils on my STI

Why did you do a AOS can? Just wondering your thought on this.

Why did you do a AOS can? Just wondering your thought on this.

I read into it, did some research and I know with any turbo vehicle it is a good idea to have something to separate the air and oil from the recirculated crankcase vapors, so I don't build up oil in the turbo, intercooler or the combustion chamber my husband had a 07 Mini Cooper S (turbo) and he had a catch can on it and there was a significant amount in it when he opened it a few months down the road, so mostly just got it for preventative measures
