Springs only will cause your car to be unsettled and have worse traction than stock on anything but the smoothest and flattest pavement if matched with oem dampers.

Don't do it
Yeah thx after doing a lot of research I'm not changing the suspension in either my STi or M3. I have camber plates but that's it. Working on the driver mod now and at some point in the future I may go with KW Clubsports but only if I significantly improve as a driver.
