   You'll need to lower the rear to match the front which is a bit of pain as there is no springs.

   Also looking around for the same but wondered what was involved in lowering the rear? Our VTR will be a track car so a cheap effective setup would be good.

    I thought I'd be able to get the advice I was after on here? Dont really want to have to join 5 forums to get answers and have to do multi-posting, especially when I'm also a member of Impreza forums.
    
    I'll look around for answers as I'm only looking for advice on common mods etc.

    What's the car being used for. There are lots of springs available but you really want the right ones for the task intended

    As stated above, track use only. Mainly circuits like Cadwell but there may be a Ring trip on the cards (my 4th) if we can get the car performing well enough.

    Save up for Gaz GHA or similar. You will struggle to fit track springs that will actually lower the car a significant amount.
