Coilover provider

[old tech]

The listing for this coil over is rather confusing because they’re showing you five different pictures of five different set ups, making it very difficult to see what you’re buying . If you look up a Subaru Tribeca coil overs, it’s showing you some of the same pictures. And on a different note, as I stated before the top of the rear shock on the original set up is not very robust and not much clearance between shock and inner sidewall to stock wheel . I would think that this is one expensive way to ruin your car. What’s wrong with your original suspension? If you want to lower it a little bit, this can be accomplished quite inexpensively by just removing 1/2 coil off the bottom ring of the original spring and then turning it 180*on the front. I think your whole mission is to make the vehicle ride lower and stiffer, which I cannot condone. The oil pan and the flex pipe are already being damaged more often than I’d like to see. I see probably more Kizashi‘s in a month than you’ll see in a lifetime and I have never seen anyone using a coil over setup front and rear.

Coilovers aren't a replacement for suspension.For me it's an upgrade. Better handling and a lower centre of mass provides a sportier feel as well as some performance gain. The point of coilovers is to revamp the current suspension setup, and I want this which is why I would prefer riding lower compared to the originals
I'm sorry, but also cutting springs? Really man, this isn't the early 2000s anymore. We know how dangerous cutting stock springs are because of the bottoming out people experience when they cut their springs, not to mention the handling gets impacted negatively, whereas coilovers can improve your handling.
You don't have to condone modifications to cars, but you have to understand that they're made for a reason, otherwise every car in the world would be bone stock because people "don't won't to ruin their car"

I have never heard of the Kizashis having an issue with the oil pan and the flex pipe? As far as what I could look up, noone else was having the same problem too, so idk what this is supposed to mean.
If my car was going to be slammed on the ground, then I'd take into consideration of the exhaust and oil pan, but its not going to be, and my underside seems pretty undamaged for now.
I live within 1.5 kilometres of 2 Kizashis, both are stock, and I have seen double digits in Kizashis in my lifetime, but i dont understand what your point is? Many cars are stock because the car scene follows popular cars with endless amounts of aftermarket parts available because its easier for them. How many modified Toyota sedans, Kia sedans, and Hyuandi sedans (not including N-line) do you see on a daily basis modified? Because for me, I see none, but this doesn't mean that people haven't modified them. Literally all it takes is to look up 'modified kizashi' and 'lowered kizashi' to see people with coilovers on their car lmao
The point of modifying YOUR car is that you create something that you can be proud of making (most of the time at least), whereas outside factors can obviously influence your decision to do stuff, but thats not the point.
I want a sportier Kizashi, as it is everything I could ask for in a a car: Reliable, manual trans, spacious yet small, and unique (also looks pretty darn good). My future goals is to turbo it (against many people's will in this forum) as I don't feel like going to the usual Civic Type R, Subaru WRX, N-line Hyuandi etc. I want a unique, sporty type car, and my Kizashi is everything I could ask for, minus the lack of aftermarket parts (RIP RRM ) and average kW/Hp

There's nothing wrong with cutting your springs as long as it's done within reason. Pretty much all modifications are like this, doing a little bit can be great, but a lot of people go way too far.

If you’re thinking about getting those coilovers, definitely make sure they’re actually compatible with the Kizashi. It sounds like you’ve already run into some issues with different photos and potential fit problems, especially with how unique the Kizashi's rear suspension is. Might be worth asking the seller directly if their coilovers come with all the parts you’ll need, or if you're going to have to source some custom bits yourself. Good luck, and let us know how it goes—I'm sure other Kizashi owners would appreciate the heads-up!
