Stanced Build Subaru Impreza 2.0i

definitely go isc, but get rear camber plates if you do. also dont do hood protector unless youre talking the clear stuff. its a perfectly good front end and doing that is just going to ruin it with hazing and possibly rust. i dont know if these have aluminum hoods like the older imprezas

Thanks for the advice. Heard many great feedback with ISC. The oem hood protector was just something I'd like but will consider thinking about it.

I'll get the final measurement by tonight. And bags hopefully in the future, got a lot of saving to do LOL. Here are my plans in the future:

- ISC or BC racing Coilovers
- 18x8.5 or 18x9.5 wheels with 215/40/R18 tires (Can't decide on wheels yet)
- Fender roll (If necessary depending how low and wide my wheels will be)
- Window Tint
- Sports OEM rear spoiler
- 15 STI Front Lip
- Touchscreen Double Din Radio with better speakers
- OEM hood protector
- License Plate relocator

Pretty Much my idea is low,slow,and show. I don't have any plans for engine work for the time being.

Update!!!!!!!

Finally took some photos yesterday. The car is sitting decently low all around with only 2 finger gap. I'm currently rockin Tein S-Tech lowering springs. My review on these springs is that they are very smooth and satisfying. Springs are stiff but doesn't bother me. Love the drop but wish it can go little bit lower, but not complaining. If your looking to drop your car and keep the stock ride quality, I would suggest Tein, I'm currently waiting for the springs to settle in and give a final measurement.

Apparently, it's been raining the past couple of days due to "El Nino" weather out here in the bay area. I'll try to upload some photos once it's sunny. I'd also ordered some Ez Front lip to go with the car. Hopefully to have all the photos by this week. Sorry for the delay.

This is gonna turn interesting. I wanna see some pictures

[Lettyimpreza13]

Nishy sorry about that yes in inches not cm. Wrote this post early in the morning. Brain's not working well at the moment LOL.

[nishy]

I wanna see what it looks like a little lowered... but I just wanna make sure, those are inches, not centimeters right?

Update on Subie build....

Last saturday, starting working on the lowering springs from 10:30am to 6pm >

Stock Photo (sorry for the weird angle, garage was too small)


Rear picture



Stock height Front Measurement (Close to 26-27inch)



Stock Height Rear Measurement (27inch)



Stock Height front bumper measurement (8 1/2 inch)




Working progress


Front Suspension out!!!



Comparison from tein to oem spring


These are the only photo I've took because the front suspension nearly took at least 4 hours. I was struggling to aligned the springs to fit onto the strut top mount, while using a spring compressor. Honestly would say the hardest thing I've dealt with from my past experience.

The car is done and I will post the before and after picture. I will also give my full review on the tein s-tech lowering springs and final measurement once springs are settle in.

[Lettyimpreza13]

Will do TruTaing. I will also take mearsurements from ground to fender after installation.
