Hi guys
I want to fit some 18*9,5 concave wheels (didnt decide yet, might even go with 18*9 if possible becouse i dont like the poke) and 255/40/18 AD08s at all corners, so i need coilovers. This is my daily car, i will go to track from time to time but just for fun, not going to push the car too much. I feel ride hardness is just fine with stock suspension and with stock 205/55/16 tires, roads here are not so good btw. I am planning to lower the car about 1". I have a limited budget i am not a pro, so which coilover would you recommend for a comfortable ride similar to stock? I have a limited budget can not afford top quality. |

The front will not change. Some coilovers have slotted top holes in the front which allows you to increase the camber. |

Better to ask Stance or whoever is selling them.
As far as other parts it depends on how much camber you want. If the front struts are slotted all you probably need are camber bolts. For the rears if you want to adjust them from what the drop gives you, you will need LCAs. |

Rear camber can be adjusted with aftermarket control arms. We make some, as well as other companies.

No actual answers for my original question. Does anybody know why you would want the front harder than the rear as opposed to the rear being harder as designed by Toyota/Subaru?

It depends on the intended use of the vehicle and driver preference. Quote:

Planning on getting the TRD lowering springs, according to OP these have the least amount of drop compared to other aftermarket springs right? I want something that will give my car a little drop and won't affect my daily driving too much. Would TRD be a good choice? Thanks and if anyone is selling them let me know. aha
