Uhh? Are you just joking? I hope so...That would be a bit of overkill as far as dampening goes... Springs Maybe? |
I'm confused... you certainly can put a ride height adjustable spring perch and a 2.5" spring over a stock strut to lower the car. However, you'd be spending quite a bit of money for what you get, you'd wear out the stock strut in a few months (assuming you're lowering the car more than an inch), you'd be vastly underdamped and/or bottoming out/rubbing, and you'd probably have alignment issues. So, unless the ride-height and spring rates are near stock levels, it will probably be bad. The only advantage over just getting new springs would be that you can corner balance the car.
So anyway, as far as damping is concerned, I'd call that "underkill"... stock struts aren't up to the task of controling stiffer and lower springs. Anything harder or shorter than the STi pinks (or equivalent springs) aren't good for the car.
