I'm not very knowledgeable about tuning suspensions, so does anyone know if it's possible to swap my 04 Impreza's RS stock springs with a set of STi springs without changing/modding the shocks and not break anything. Also, if this is done, what would the effects be? I'm guessing it would lift it a bit and be stiffer, correct? Trying to stiff and raise the car a bit for better rally-X performance without buying a full suspension set up at the moment.

Not the setup for rallyx. This is good for those people who just want to lower their car a little bit and don't really care how it handles. STi springs will reduce your bump travel and use up all your rebound damping and then some.

Try to find some used/good condition KYB AGXes or Tokico DSpec struts, and leave everything else the same, if you're on a tight budget. This will be infinityX better than swapping springs.

I've been driving around with STi springs and DSpecs on my 02 WRX wagon, and it's a good suspension for daily driving and playing around a little bit, but the reduced bump travel and extra stiffness really sucked at the last rallyx. I just took this stuff off today in preparation for selling it and will be installing the DSpecs and some WRX springs (same as what's on your car) on my "new" rallyx car in a couple of days.

Ryan, as I offered Chris, if you want me to install suspension and/or do maintenance on the RS in return for codrives, I'm always up for that.

Thanks for the input, I'll check into those. And I'll defiantly take the help for co-drives, thanks.
