Depending on the route you wanna go, tirerack.com has Eibach springs at a good price. In my experience their service is second to none.

Also, subimods (vendor on this site) offers Cobb springs for '08 WRX's.

They feature similar drop (1.5 front/1.25 rear.)

I was gonna say as well, the vendors on this site are pretty good. Not sure on what works well with what 08 WRX wise, but I'm sure at least one of them has outfitted an 08, and has some useful information on it.

First, I don't recommend springs for the 08 WRX (more later), second, I don't recommend H&R springs for the 08 WRX.

First, the 08 is pretty travel limited and all ready paired with a crappy damper. Lowering springs will just exagerate the issue. You'll be pretty much riding on bump stops whether you like it or not. Second, the H&R springs offer one of the heavier drops for the 08s. Just as mentioned above. This isn't a good thing! :-x ... Contact TurninConcepts or RaceComp Engineering if you want more info.

Each his own though. Both subimods and subaruwrxparts.com offer springs.

I'm just looking for a temporary solution to get rid of the hidious wheel gap. I am going to be purchasing a coilover setup next year, or get a good set of shocks and struts if ever developed for the 08 wrx :unamused:. Kinda figure that if I'm gonna toss my brand new oe shocks and struts might as well get sum use outta them. If I "Think Green" I wouldnt have to think about my sore a$$ and back after driving :lol:

Yeah there are no good strut options out there yet for MY08/09.

I heard koni is possibly developing a set of struts but idk how good they would be. I wish tokico would develop something but at this point anything is better than the oe struts!!!!

koni's are usually pretty good. Word is they have been developing them for the 08/09 for some time lol. No one knows if we will actually see them.

On 3gwrx there is a guy that is working to make the LGT ones work. They require some modification though.
