Built for the everyday Impreza.
The Spec-A is designed specifically for 2002–2007 Subaru Impreza owners who want a lower ride height, sharper handling, and improved ride quality without sacrificing the comfort that makes these cars enjoyable every day.
Dežru Spec-A Coilovers – Subaru Impreza (2002–2007 Non-WRX/STI)
The Dežru Spec-A is engineered specifically for the naturally aspirated 2002–2007 Subaru Impreza, delivering improved ride quality, more precise handling, and a clean lowered stance while preserving the comfortable, confidence-inspiring character of the chassis.
Whether you own a 2.5RS, TS, Sport Wagon, Outback Sport, or another naturally aspirated GD/GG model, the Spec-A is valved and sprung for the lighter front-end weight of the non-turbo Impreza. Many aftermarket coilovers are designed around WRX or STI spring rates, which can leave naturally aspirated models feeling unnecessarily stiff and underdamped. The Spec-A uses moderate spring rates and carefully matched damping to create a suspension that feels balanced, composed, and comfortable on real roads.
With a lowering range of 0.5" to 3" below OEM ride height, the Spec-A provides the aggressive appearance enthusiasts want while maintaining proper suspension travel and excellent daily drivability.

- Fully rebuildable with individual replacement parts available.
Performance Character
The Spec-A removes the soft, disconnected feeling of aging factory suspension while avoiding the harshness commonly associated with entry-level coilovers. Body roll is reduced, steering response becomes more immediate, and the chassis feels more planted without making rough roads uncomfortable.
The balanced spring rates complement the lighter naturally aspirated Impreza, providing predictable turn-in, improved cornering stability, and excellent ride compliance. Rather than chasing maximum stiffness, the Spec-A focuses on creating a suspension that's enjoyable every time you drive.
City streets feel smoother and more controlled, highway driving becomes noticeably more stable, and winding back roads reward the driver with improved confidence and precision. The suspension remains forgiving enough for commuting while providing the responsiveness enthusiasts expect from a properly engineered coilover system.
Although developed with daily driving in mind, the Spec-A is equally at home during spirited weekend drives and occasional autocross, making it the ideal upgrade for owners who want one suspension that does everything well.
