    Done it too many times now!

    Went Stock > H&R Super Sport > Stock > EMD, and then replaced Shocks and Struts.

    Still contemplating if I want to swap to Eibach instead....

    Good video for reference for those who haven't done it!

    Thanks man! I typically am working on an Impreza 2.5RS 2 door coupe, but that is at a shop getting a cage put in. Eibach lowering springs, you cant go wrong. However, I am loving the APR ones, I can barely tell a difference in the ride compared to stock. I am very happy with the springs.

    Great video! Do you have mag-ride? I've been interested in the APR roll control springs for a while but its hard to find pictures of them installed on a mag-ride car like mine. If you're able to can you post a side shot? I have 034 Motorsport Dynamic Lowering Springs and they are excellent but I wish they provided a lower setting. On the 034 website they say their springs provide a 0.75 drop. The rear fender gap is lower than the front as well. APR's springs provide the same 0.75 drop according to their site.

    I do have the Mag Ride. I love how low it made my car. At the end of the video I have the measurements of before and after. I dropped about an inch in front and 1.25 in the back. The ride is super smooth, I can barely tell a difference. No added noise. I am currently working, but when I am off in two hours, I will snap a picture of it and post it here for you dude.

    That's the perfect drop and what I've been looking for! I'd really appreciate the pic, thanks.

    Did you trim your bump stops? Not sure if APR recommends it, just curious.
