Our car on our new Mach V lowering springs.











Spring rates are increased from stock 28% in the front, 30% in the rear. Lowering is about 0.75" front, 1.0" rear.

Never seen lower rear numbers before. What's the stock height difference between the two?

That looks so sweet!!! Any alignment adjustments and if so what products did you use? Also have you noticed any rubbing with it now lowered and running the Awesomes with the 255s?

I'm not sure exactly how to answer that question.

We put OEM Subaru camber bolts in the front. It still doesn't have any front camber; we will probably do some aftermarket top hats to increase it.

No.

We don't sell tires, but if you are local to us we can install them. (We're a Tire Rack Recommended Installer.) Otherwise, just buy the springs and wheels, and get your tires installed by your local tire installer.
