My worldbuilding project (henceforth the "project") is a soft-SciFi, alternate history imagining of Earth's future. Before the truly original content starts to appear in the timeline, a few prior events must take place for my project to be realistic - in my mind, anyway.
Mexican-American War, ca. 1848
After the Mexican-American War finished in real life, the United States gained huge amounts of Mexican land out West under the terms of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. February 2nd, 1848 is where the project officially detaches from real-world history somewhat, as the Treaty of GH (and James Knox Polk himself) saw Mexico cede about three-quarters of its territory, including the Yucatan Peninsular and Cuba.
Something like this, although with borders less rigid and with the integral exception of Cuba. (Credit to u/binchops34)
These new territories of Baja California, Sonora, Greater Chihuahua, and Yucatan remained territories of the US until 1888, 1911, 1896, and 1921 respectively. As such, these territories were unable to have a say in US politics during the Civil War and thus provided no exceptional contributions to the war, which ended in Union victory in 1864.
World history continues from thence as we know, albeit with a considerably weaker Mexico and a slightly stronger United States. Importantly, the US's foreign policy was influenced beyond measure as a result of Polk's interference with the Treaty of GH - one might consider the US a colonial power now.
Spanish-American War, ca. 1898
Among other causes, William McKinley's desire to improve US industry and overall global strength culminated in the Spanish-American war of 1898 which saw, as we know, Cuba, Guam, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico ceded to the United States. However, neither the Teller Amendment (1902) nor the Tydings-McDuffie Act (1934) was passed, leaving all Spanish secessions as American territory. With the US now being a colonial power, with colonies in the Pacific and Caribbean, their views of European colonialism was softened.
Post World War II, ca. 1946-91
World War II devastated Europe and their colonies. Following the war in the late 40s and early 50s, some independence movements took hold across European colonial empires, especially in France, the Netherlands, and Britain. Although the French lost French Indochina, Israel was formed as we'd expect, and the Belgian Congo opted to remain a British protectorate for a decade after 1943 (as it was captured by Britain to prevent it falling into German hands. By the way, the British refused to grant independence, and it remained a protectorate), much of the British, Dutch, and some of the French empires remained.
With an ally in the US, now pro-colonial, these nations kept hold of their empires for decades, which served in preventing many African civil wars. In the 70s, Spain and Portugal lost their empires as their authoritarian governments collapsed, even despite the strong empires remaining.
In the 60s, South Africa became a British protectorate on par with Egypt and the Congo. Anyway, from now until 1991, history played out roughly the same - notably with Nicaragua taking the place of Cuba in the now Nicaraguan Missile Crisis of 1962, and with a more powerful Britain and France.
Upon the gracing of 1996, the youngest son of Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales; and of Princess Camilla, the Princess of Wales; Prince Henry, was born (despite Charles and Camilla's middle-agedness... call it plot-forced pregnancy).
With that, we reach the end of the project's historical context. Here we learnt that:
- the US gained huge swathes of Mexico in the Mexican-American War which bolstered US support for colonialism and Manifest Destiny. - the US refused to grant independence to either Cuba or the Philippines after the Spanish-American War, as a result of the US' newfound support of colonialism. - World War II saw the collapse of the Belgian colonial empire, and its territories were effectively stolen by Britain. - After World War II, the French, British, Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish empires remained (albeit with minor losses, such as French Indochina, and Israel), especially as a result of US support for colonialism. South Africa also became a British protectorate. - the Cold War continued as expected except for a Nicaraguan Missile Crisis rather than a Cuban one. - finally, the third and youngest son of Prince Charles, Prince Henry, was born in 1996.

In an effort to contribute something worthwhile to the community, I figured I'd share my thoughts & experience with this setup now that I've had it for about 1200+ miles. When I was researching information on suspension setups on here, I didn't find a great deal of detailed information or firsthand experiences, so hopefully this help fills the gap.
Overview - I primarily wanted a suspension setup that would get rid of most of the 2 1/2 finger wheel/fender gap but would also retain the ability to drive on a daily basis. The roads where I live aren't the worst by any means, but they certainly aren't prime either. My driveway is also fairly steep, so an excessive drop was out of the question, especially with an overpriced OEM lip. I never track my car nor plan to, so that didn't play a role in my decision. My other main focus was to go for something that didn't require a great deal of attention or maintenance after the fact. This pretty much eliminated coilovers as an option.
Installation - I originally contacted my local tuner to have them install it because I had never done a suspension swap and was intimidated being new to the STI platform. They wanted around $800 - I'm not sure if this was reasonable or not but hearing that was all the motivation I needed to give it a go and install them myself. My dad and I got together and knocked it out. It honestly took about 8 hours altogether because we took our time but we ultimately got it done... And got it done correctly the first time. The instructions that come from Race Comp Engineering are ok, but they could use a bit of work in the clarification department. Some steps are a tad bit confusing since they mix WRX and STI installations together. A few more pictures during some of the steps would be beneficial but overall the instructions got the job done. It's also nice to note the instructions were easily downloadable online in the case you buy used. Overall the install was straightforward. One of the best parts about this setup is that the rear strut is adjustable in 5mm increments so you have the option to get rid of the 'reverse rake' that STI's come with from Subaru. I reused my OEM tophats without issue.
The Ride - So, never having modified the suspension on all of my previous cars, I wasn't sure what to expect. The primary feedback of "lowering springs are shit. Get coilovers" that you typically see on this forum wasn't very helpful in setting my expectations. From the moment I pulled out of my driveway you can definitely feel a difference. You can certainly feel a bit more of the road when going over uneven, bumpy roads but I actually enjoy the feedback. For me, it felt like it took about 24 hours for everything to "settle in". During my first ride, I hit a metal manhole cover that was kind of deep and I won't lie, my soul temporarily left my body because it was so jarring. The fact I didn't expect it is probably what made it worse. I found myself clinching my butt cheeks going over other notable dips or bumps in the road for the rest of that ride. Fortunately, 1200 miles later, I haven't been able to replicate the experience... And I've gone over some pretty hellacious roads, including driving through the streets of Philadelphia and DC.
It's very true what they say in that you become accustomed to the ride quickly. After 48 hours, everything felt "normal" and I found myself not going out of my way to avoid notable bumps and imperfections in the road. The car definitely felt more grounded going around corners and taking I-95/I-64 on-ramps at higher speeds. Body roll was noticeably reduced along with the car "nose diving" when braking hard at higher speeds.
Conclusion - I'm very very satisfied with this setup as a whole. I think it's hands down the best non-coilover setup you can go for on this car. I also believe it provides the perfect drop for a daily driver. It's front lip and speedbump friendly but also gets rid of enough of the fender gap to be noticeable. If you're looking for a low maintenance option to lower you vehicle without sacrificing performance, this is it. I understand that brand new, this setup runs just about as much as a set of low/mid-tier level of coilovers but I would rather go this route as long as adjustability isn't a priority or need. One thing of note - I would recommend staying away from only going with lowering springs without upgrading the other components even though these are advertised to work with the stock shocks and struts.... I can see the ride being noticeably harsher and much less forgiving. I don't have a problem with ppl cheaping out on cosmetic enhancements, but components as vital as your suspension isn't the place to cut corners. (No pun intended)
TL:DR - This is a great setup that offers a solid level of performance, maintains a level of daily driveability without the maintenance concerns of coilovers. I'd highly recommend!
