*3. Adjustable range (However, the lowest value may not be road legal.
Even within the adjustable range, car body, arm etc. may contact. In such case, it will be hard to drive.
Damper oil leakage or any other problems caused by low ride height setting from the factory setting will void the warranty of the product.)
*4. Drivable range that there is no contact of car body or arms etc. (However, change of tire/wheel size may cause a problem.)
Caution). Actual data depends on each vehicle.

Point
"Natural steering feeling" so that a driver can trace the line as desired was pursued as STI's unique handling characteristic.
Focusing on driving stability during cornering to match the vehicle's characteristics, the helper springs in the front and rear maintain the stroke amount on the extension side so the tires can continuously contact even on rough road surfaces.
Management of VPS improves the driving comfort and sportiness. Driving comfort can be maintained under long-distance driving much better than the stock suspension.
Utilizing the helper springs in both front and rear dampers enables to secure the stroke of the extension side as possible.
The default setting is the dial 15 so the suspension can actively work. For highly stability, set the dial to 20 to 25.
The alignment data shows the value when the camber adjusting bolt under the front strut is turned to the full negative side.
Compatibility with WRX was confirmed by actual fitting.
