Alright I got the damn mod bug. I have been reading about quality suspension setups. I know I dont want coil overs because I commute 35miles/each way to work and don't want most of my driving to be back wrenching. However, I'd love to fix some of the high-speed dampening in the STI.
The stock suspension I admit, is pretty good.
Here's what I'm trying to solve
1. The small amount of dive/squatting on braking and accelerating
2. The sometimes unsteadiness of suspension when in turns or high-speed in general (say 65 or 70+) when hitting unsteady patches in the road.
In pretty sure 1. Is solved by springs. I'm looking at the RCE yellow.
It also seems that Koni yellow shocks aren't made for 2015+?? (Please prove me wrong and I'll close this thread because that's probably the ideal).
Does anybody have experience with the bilstein/gtworx valving? They are pretty pricey and I can't really tell if they are THAT much of an improvement over the stock dampeners. $1100 is a lot to spend on something that probably is just as good...
Thoughts? Attached is the shock dyno if the bilsteins. Obviously huge improvement for a WRX, but an STI?
What about retaining stock dampeners with the yellow springs?
I don't like to half ass anything so if stock dampeners need to be replaced with rce yellows, let it be known.
Thanks all
