Hey guys! My first post. I've been interested in wrx/sti for years, and am currently researching to see which one would be better for me. Currently I'm leaning towards the sti as it seems to be a better investment with all the upgraded components. One thing I've run across in my research is the the sti typically has much firmer suspension, especially the 15+ year models.
My question is this: is the stock suspension on the sti adjustable? For example, I know the golf r has adjustable firmness for its suspension. You can make it harder or softer fairly easily. Does the sti have anything like this?
My apologies I'm just a noob on car stuff (coming from a '14 forester, go Subaru!). Thanks!
Nope. It's stiff but if you are the type to consider springs on another car you won't find the 15+ STi overly stiff. The 08-10 STi's are practically cushy and even 11-14 is not what any tuner would call "stiff"
I see. I'm surprised Subaru does not offer this, as it seems almost everything else about the sti is easily adjustable... Maybe in a future release! Thanks for your reply.
I've seen that video thanks! Not trying to turn this into a wrx vs sti thing... I well know the differences and what will work for me. Just wasn't sure if the sti had adjustable suspension but now I know it does not. Thanks again everyone that pitched in!
Ummm a good friend of mine has a '11 STi and while his suspension was stock he would 3 wheel entering/leaving his driveway...did I mention it was STOCK.
It's not adjustable. It's awesome, but not adjustable.
The suspension is not too harsh to be a daily driver, as there are many in our car Club. The chassis on the '15 WRX/STi models is the best chassis they've ever made.
Almost no cars have adjustable suspensions from the factory sadly. Only a select few do.
