I could be getting/ordering some GTB suspension within a few weeks, but as we know GTB's are heavier in the rear due to the tail gate etc and im guessing in the front due to the turbos and so on.

So im wondering how the car will sit with the stock bilstein springs? Also im pretty sure they do actually fit but should just double check that too. Any help would be great

Arse will sit in the air like a slut.

I like to think of it as borrowing someone's car and driving it better than them.

I had a feeling that would be the case. Lowering springs?

Can't see why the shocks would be different. Get some rear sedan springs.

Would have to be from an RS-B or a Bilstein RX right?

Basically yes.

Or grab some Tein s tech springs. Depends on your budget.

I'm saving up for coilovers at the moment. Might grab some billies too in the meantime.

King lows sit nicely in these..

KSL25's i think are in mine..


Actually they are KSFL-22SL front and KSRL-23SL Rear

GC8 sti part numbers..

i think it brings it down nicely but not too low as to scape EVERYWHERE...
I think it comes in at literally just above legal.. by a bees dick, and that's after about 5 years of sag...

ride is not too harsh though.

Don't listen to they hype over how bad Kings are.. they are good for their price.. and for me they are exactly how i want my car to ride and sit..

I have a set of tein springs that were pulled out of a billy, and am willing to sell.

How much were the kings? Do you have any before and after pictures?
