Stock spring size*. Got lowering springs and Konis bro! Impreza world already went through this problem, even stock there isn't much travel.

Just a matter of making an adapter for the right inner diameter of the stock spring id to connect up with the 60 mm step on our top hat should not be a big problem.

An extra 2" of shock travel is nice but I would think you'll run into coilbind first anyway with a set of lowering springs. Plus there won't be enough droop.

Can anything significantly useful be done for the suspension of a car maintained at stock ride height and driven mostly on the street? I'm afraid to go for even a 1" drop because of all the rocks that fall onto my road. Every time I ride over one, my balls retract. I wouldn't mind being able to drop for track days, but I wouldn't want to go through adjusting all the geometry just for one day. I fear a crap setup.

Did you switch back to an 8" wheel or was the 9" just a typo?

Any final details on the 'Robispec'd' KW V3s yet?

Or those fancy extended top mounts?

So here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...hlight=olympic you posted the Olympic tune. Now back to Delicious? You make so many little tweaks, it's hard to keep track.
