Looking to lower my Impreza relatively cheap.. Anyone got any advice? I was looking at getting coilovers but was told I have to get it realigned every time i adjust it? I want to be able to maybe slam it for photos then lift it enough to drive around without scraping. But I don’t want to spend all the money on bags. Need help!
also how am i supposed to lower it without the wheels hitting the top of the wheel chamber?
like in the photo.

Coilovers are expensive nonetheless
You don’t have an option where you can lower it and then raise it back up and it be cheap

what about alignment stuff?
and can coilovers get it as low as the photo for pictures?
which also brings me back to how to make the wheel not hit the wheel chamber

You can get pretty damn low on coilovers.
This is an install video but this will give you a better idea on how these work and how you adjust your coilovers.

In addition to that ^^^^ every time you change the ride height and intend to drive it, you’ll need it aligned. But for your plan of “lower it for pictures, raise it back up for driving” then as long as it’s aligned at the driving height you’ll be ok, just make sure it’s at driving height when you drive it.

so you’re saying keeping it aligned at driving height at all times will work fine?

If you only lower it while it’s parked, then return it to the same ride height as before when you drive it, you’ll be ok. The ride height while your driving needs to not change, that’s the critical factor.

for photos ideally yeah. i don’t think i’d be able to drive like that though
i was mainly asking about how the wheels wouldn’t hit the wheel chamber
but i could camber it and fix it thst way
i heard you should get camber if you’re getting coilovers?

I bought blueline coilovers for my VW passat. Defenitely not the best quality, but they work.

Usually when you these exclusive JDM cars, the only coilovers available tend to be priceeeyyy.
