I am looking to get some new coil overs for my Wrx I am not looking to slam it. it needs new struts so I figured I would get an upgraded suspension but I don't now what to get any recommendations .

I had Feals on my 2005 STI. I actually loved them. They made the car handle really well, though they did drop the car pretty low. In retrospect however, I think I would have been happier had I gone with a good spring and strut combo instead, such as RCE Yellows and Koni adjustables or Tokico D-Specs. Something like that.

Odi from Feal sends them pre-loaded and ready to install. No adjustment was done after I installed them (other than alignment)...It ended up being about 2 inches lower. I was about 3 to 4 inches off the ground. It was low.

My late 05 STI.

Welp, I can garauntee everyone on here will recommend Koni yellow or tokico D-spec with some sort of RCE spring. There are some springs to stay away from however, refer to the link I gave you for that info. But it comes down to what you want most and/or your needs. Performance and comfort etc. don't come hand in hand. It's a pick 2 deal. Just decide what's important to you and we can give you even better recommendations.

Like I mentioned before...RCE Yellows (or RCE Blacks) and Koni adjustables, or Tokico D-Specs. You'll have less than an inch of drop, stiffer springs, dampers that match well with them, and they will all play very nicely with sways and endlinks.

I know the area well.

If you're going with sways/endlinks, too, I would just get an OE-replacement strut and a set of springs that are designed to work with OE struts. Quite capable, reasonable cost, and would suit a daily driven vehicle well.
