A great video brother. Subies forever guys and gals. I own my base model WRX/ STI. I owned my 2017 base model WRX as well. I'm very proud to be apart of the Subie community. Stat safe guys.
Do you aggressively drive your car in twisties? If so did those make a big difference from stock suspension? Or did you just install those to lower your car for looks?
I did it to lower the car primarily for looks. I still enjoy some "spirited " driving time to time on some curvy roads and there is definitely a difference in handling. Car feels more plated on the bends.
Any advice getting that top camber bolt out? My STI has 1K miles on it and I still couldn’t get it. Had to stop because I didn’t wanna risk stripping the bolt.
Hey, the camber bolt on the front struts? With only 1k miles that should have been a breeze to take out. Try hitting it with some PB Blaster to break up anything stuck in the threads. If that doesn't work you can try to apply some heat. I would just crank away at the bolt and nut, worst case you need to get a new camber bolt and nut but I doubt it would be that bad. Good luck.
Will check to see if I have footage but if you want all 4 up, I raise the rear first on the diff and put the jack stands under the rear jack points. That usually gives me enough room to get the jack under the front on the frame itself then I raise the front and put the jack stand under the front jack points. There are a few videos on TH-cam also where to find solid jacking points.
Did you jack up the front using the plate? I used a plank of wood to raise it alittle so my jack can go under. I dont know when i installed the same coils you have that my jack would not have enought space to clear so i can remove it
Hey, I just used the plate on the jack. I have a low profile jack so if you don't have a low profile jack, I suggest you use wood planks to help keep the car high enough to get the jack out. They sell some low profile ramps but honestly all you need is some wood planks and that will do the job for way less.
Took about 1-2hours total... I didn't have to fight any rusty bolts so it was quick. If you have a good amount of miles on your car give yourself 2-4hours.
It's been 2 years now of having them on the car, no complaints really. I scarpe a little when entering steep driveways but that is expected and I don't want to raise it. I'm happy with the ride height
Hey brotha i have the same exact coilovers and i installed them with a buddy of mine, my dampening is on fully soft right now and it makes a squeaky noise, any suggestions or help
Hey, it could be a few things, you will need to identify which side is squeaking...could be a bad bushing on one of the other suspension pieces on that side...also check preload to make sure its tight. Turn up the dampening a few clicks (3-6)to stiff to see if the noise goes away. My guess though is that you have a bushing starting to fail. Hope this helps...they got a few videos on youtube to test your bushings once you know which side you hearing the noise.
You just unlock the lower collar on the coilover and then turn the whole body of the coilover to the left (going towards the ground) to go lower or turn it to the right ( the whole body will be moving upwards) to raise the car. To unlock the bottom collar all you need to do it turn it from left to right --->
Nope, still using the factory settings. They settled a bit but looks great. Will post a follow up review on the coils soon as its been a few months now.

is that the max low you put it to bro?

Clean and neat 🤙🏽
Thanks for the video!
Great video! A year later, how's it ride?
Hey, no issues at all. Rides great and no re-adjustments so far. Very happy with them. Will post a review soon on them.
@@leugarage6327 waiting on that review bro. lol. Been sitting on this decision for so long.
My bad dude, the review video file got corrupt but will reshoot and post this weekend.
Can you show how you jacked the car? I tried jacking the car on the side but my jackstand wont fit beside it and i cant put the jackstand
Will check to see if I have footage but if you want all 4 up, I raise the rear first on the diff and put the jack stands under the rear jack points. That usually gives me enough room to get the jack under the front on the frame itself then I raise the front and put the jack stand under the front jack points.

This is pretty much a good way to do it also

looking to get these, was wondering how long it took you to install them? thanks!

@@leugarage6327 awesome, thanks for replying!
How are they holding up? Do they bottom out or what?

Were you able to solve the squeaky noise?
Boss l Ike your front lip would you share it to me please where do I purchase same FL? Thank you
Hey, it's the Bayson R, CS front lip. I got it off of Ebay.
Did it come with preloaded?
Hey, yes it did. Just make sure everything is tight as it could have gotten slack in shipping
They come with some Link for the front?
Hey, no links were included
How much more you think you could’ve lowered it?
These will give you up to a 3" drop, I could have gone more but this was good for me.
Hey bro how do you adjust the rear coils
You just unlock the lower collar on the coilover and then turn the whole body of the coilover to the left (going towards the ground) to go lower or turn it to the right ( the whole body will be moving upwards) to raise the car. To unlock the bottom collar all you need to do it turn it from left to right --->
did you adjust them later?
Nope, still using the factory settings. They settled a bit but looks great. Will post a follow up review on the coils soon as its been a few months now.
@@leugarage6327 Looking forward to your review. I just placed an order 😁😁😁
Haha...thats the first one ive seen with green side emblems like mine
Can't go wrong with that blue and green combo
How low did you drop them?
Not sure about exact measurements but went from a 3-4 finger gap to one finger gap all around.
