STI suspension swap tutorial

[david_12121]

Greetings!

So about a month or two ago, I spent a weekend fitting a set of BC racing RAM series coilovers from an 05-07 STI onto my car.
It all went well and I get really good suspension for a very small amount of money (got them used)

It's not the hardest of tasks and I know that many people want cheap coilover options, so I can make a how-to if you guys want.

I know of another gentleman who has done the same, and it seems to be working in both our cases, although I have not gotten an alignment yet and the way I did it, my caster was altered quite a lot.

Let me know what you guys think.

Yes absolutely a write up like that would be very valuable for those doing it and those thinking about doing it.

Pictures would also be appreciated

I didn't take that many pictures while doing it but I'll try to make it as good as I can.
My only concern is the alignment, and the fact that I don't know how it's gonna be. So I don't wanna encourage people to do it if it's gonna take too much to fix the caster.
Also the front sway bar can't be mounted.

yes it can, you just need to source the right part, I know many companys make them I just dont know for what.

You just need these.

I've also done the swap. I can add pictures if wanted as I'm replacing my entire suspension with new, better coils tomorrow

Oh...I must get two of those sway bar things, although I know the stock sway bar would not do anything...12k springs up front.

David send me the pics on instagram...I'll do the writeup.
