Ep3 stock suspension, harder than a wrx's?

[mattatnoosa]

Hi guys,

A friends dad is a panel beater and was sitting in my ep3 today and was commenting on how hard the suspension was, he said it's way harder than a wrx's, I feel alot of bumps, and he said all the rattling / squeaking in the car is attributed to it, I'm going to try and get some photos of the suspension tomorrow, but I was wondering if I could get anyones opinion on it. Does anyone have a pic of the stock suspension?

stock ep3 suspension is pretty firm compared to a lot of other cars, but all cars will develop some sort of rattle/squeak over time regardless of how stiff the suspension is... general wear and tear I guess.

i find the stock sussy pretty bumpy on broken road.

i have fitted Tein Super Street and it's better but worse with big bumps than stock. thinking about selling the car so i might be de-modding soon....

the weight of the car also comes into play. wrx's are heavier than the ep3's.
Heavier cars normally absorb the bump better than lighter cars.
ergo, if the wrx and ep3 had the exact same suspension with the same amount of firmness, the ep3 would feel more bumpy than the wrx.
